Ampareen hails HC judgment, prays for grace to forgive accusers
Cabinet minister Ampareen Lyngdoh on Thursday hailed the judgment passed by the Meghalaya High Court discharging her from the alleged irregularities in a 17-year-old lower primary assistant teacher recruitment case.
Lyngdoh along with two other officers were accused of manipulating score sheets to favor certain candidates in the selection process for assistant teachers in Lower Primary Schools.
Addressing a news conference following the verdict, Lyngdoh expressed relief and gratitude, stating, “Lots of water under the bridge. I have suffered so much for 17 long years.”
“Today I remember my late mother, I told mom I didn’t do it but she was constantly pressured, she is no longer here to enjoy this beautiful day. I remember my late brother RG Lyngdoh who despite everything always told me that if you have not done it you will continue your service to the people.”
She thanked her family, supporters, and legal team, including Senior Advocate Salman Khurshid, for standing by her throughout the ordeal.
“Today’s verdict validates our stand. The name of Mr Peter Garnett Marbaniang is not in any way compromised. We are a family that upholds justice and that will service the people of the state to the best of our capacities,” Lyngdoh stated.
Lyngdoh expressed her gratitude to the judiciary system, saying, “This country and nation will always fight for justice, and this is the justice I get today.”
She also thanked her supporters for believing in her and voting her back to office despite the allegations. Lyngdoh stated that would pray for those who wrongly accused her, saying, “God will grant me the grace to forgive each and everyone of you”.
“I am thankful to God and the Catholic church and the priests who continuously pray for my peace of mind… I am so sorry this case took shape the way it did, so sorry for the time that is wasted of all people who have become victims of this so-called white ink case,” she added.
