SHILLONG, APR 2: The Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organizations (CoMSO) has kicked off a campaign to seek support from all 60 legislators across party lines for the implementation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and amendment of the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950, in Meghalaya.
“We have given the state government a 45-day deadline to take steps to write to the Union Home Ministry, Election Commission of India, and other authorities on these issues,” CoMSO chairman Roykupar Synrem said after meeting BJP state president Rikman G Momin on Thursday.
Synrem emphasized the importance of engaging with all stakeholders, including political parties.
“We will approach each party, meet them in person or send letters, urging support for these crucial issues affecting indigenous tribes,” he said.
The BJP state unit assured CoMSO they are on the same page regarding SIR implementation and will coordinate with authorities.
“They will study our representation and take necessary steps for the ST Order amendment,” Synrem added.
CoMSO welcomed Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma’s statement supporting SIR but stressed the need for proactive steps to implement it.
“It’s not just about statements, but getting things done,” Synrem said.
