SHILLONG: Shillong MP, Vincent Pala has been slapped with a notice by the Deputy Commissioner, West Khasi Hills for allegedly violating the model poll code of conduct.
Pala and Nongstoin sitting MLA, Diostarness Jyndiang had attended the official function to inaugurate the Hostel of Umyiap District at Tiehsaw village in West Khasi Hills on Thursday.
However Pala on Friday clarified that the request for attending the meeting had come two months before and he neither talked politics nor announced any schemes while attending the programme.
“I just gave my blessing and don’t think it is a violation of the model code of conduct,” Pala said, adding that it was not a political programme but a programme organised by the Church.
Pala would also consult his lawyers before replying to the notice issued by the DC office.
