SHILLONG, MAY 6: National People’s Party (NPP) on Wednesday has said it support the 48-hour bandh called by the All A’chik Youth Federation (AAYF) to protest the illegal and unconstitutional extension of the term of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC).
The bandh called by the AAYF in the Garo Hills region will commence from May 19 and 20.
The term of the GHADC has been extended thrice and another extension is being contemplated by the Meghalaya government, AAYF alleged.
“We fully agree with their views which are valid concerns in light of the murder of democracy by the government,” NPP spokesperson James K Sangma said in a statement issued on Wednesday.
Sangma said the NPP fully extends its support to the bandh being called on May 19 and 20.- By Our Reporter
