Mukul says AITC will undo border agreement if voted to power in 2023

SHILLONG, JULY 12: Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Tuesday said the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) will “undo” the border agreement if voted to power in 2023.

 

Addressing a membership drive at Rongjeng in East Garo Hills, Sangma while de-prioritizing the political warfare between the two governments over the land ownership had empathized with the sentiment of the residents of the disputed area.

 

“Whatever discussions have taken place between the two governments is not in sync with the expected line of agreement. Whatever has been decided in the bilateral discussion and the subsequent agreement, it is not acceptable to the people of the state. When people are not accepting this, then why is it imposed upon our people?” he asked.

 

“It is incumbent as politicians and members of the party to defend our people. Therefore, we stand committed to see that it is undone if we are voted to power,” Sangma assured.

 

The former CM criticized the divisive intentions of the proxy BJP government and the deplorable mis-governance taking place in the state. In lieu of his previous stance, Dr. Mukul Sangma strongly condemned the state government’s reluctance to hold on to its own rightful territory.

 

During his address, he said, “We have substantiated our claim over these areas of differences with valid documents and revenue records.

 

Along with revenue records, various maps dating back to the British era) have been submitted. So, who gave the right to the MDA government to divide Meghalaya?”

 

Condemning the recent atrocities against the people from areas of differences, Sangma said, “They are pressurizing the affected people to surrender and give up their assertiveness to fight. This attempt by both the governments to suppress people is condemnable. They cannot engage in atrocities against our people.”

 

Besides the border issue, Dr. Mukul Sangma also commented on the injustice against the SSA and MTET teachers.

 

Attended by over 1500 people, TMC’s pro-people outlook is strengthening the arms of TMC in Meghalaya everyday, the party said.
