Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMay 1, 2023

The BJP state president Ernest Mawrie on Monday informed that the party will examine the report of the committee on roster system before placing it in the upcoming meeting of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA).

Speaking to media persons, Mawrie said, “The committee will submit a report on the roster system. We will examine the report and we will place it in the MDA meeting.”

Convener of the Committee and former MLA of Mawsynram HM Shangpliang informed that the committee on roster system had held two rounds of meetings.

Shangpliang said a legal team headed by SP Mahanta has assisted the committee with the legal advice.

“The committee has come up with certain suggestions which we would like to present whenever the chief minister calls us for an All-party meeting,” he said.

When asked, Shangpliang said, “We endorsed the High Court order on the cut-off date but we are not saying retrospectively or prospectively but we would like the government to take a call on the cut-off date. If not the government, it should be the legislature.”
