Shillong, Mar 1 (PTI) The Congress, which has suspended five MLAs in Meghalaya for lending support to the ruling BJP-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance, Tuesday said it will soon submit a report to the party high command over their failure to reply to the show cause notice served to them.<\/p>\n
The ten days time given to the five MLAs expired on February 24 but they are yet to respond to the show cause, Meghalaya PCC chief Vincent H Pala said.<\/p>\n
AICC had show caused the five on February 14 for anti-party activity by supporting and joining the BJP-backed MDA government.<\/p>\n
In view of this, we will meet on March 4 to discuss the matter and accordingly submit a report to the AICC, he said.<\/p>\n
The decision on the next course of action will be taken by AICC, Pala said.<\/p>\n
After the Congress MLAs were suspended, CLP leader Ampareen Lyngdoh had stated that the five MLAs would take a collective decision on the matter.<\/p>\n
When contacted she said, We will revert to you in 12 days.<\/p>\n
Sources said that the suspended MLAs have already decided not to respond to the show cause notice as they have made up their minds to seek re-election from other political parties. Four out of five other MLAs have been given government appointments.<\/p>\n
P T Sawkmie and Mohendro Rapsang have been appointed co-chairmen of Meghalaya New and Renewable Energy Development Agency and Mayralborn Syiem was appointed co-chairman of Meghalaya Industrial Development Corporation. Kimfa Marbaniang has been made co-chairman of Meghalaya Government Construction Company, according to a notification issued last week.<\/p>\n
Congress had won an impressive 12 seats in the 60-member house but seven of them, led by former chief minister Mukul Sangma, had quit the party and joined Trinamool Congress in November last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
