KSU demands CWC to proof allegation on Ichamati murder case

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMarch 31, 2024

 The Khasi Students Union (KSU) on Saturday dared the Coordination and Welfare Committee (CWC) Shella Block to prove with evidence on its allegation that the union is involved in the recent murder case at Ichamati.

“The CWC had levelled different kinds of allegations against the union in its letter to the CM. (We) challenge Gopal Dey (president of CWC Shella Block) to come forward and present his evidence against the members of the KSU,” KSU general secretary Donald V Thabah said in a statement issued here.

He said that Dey was the same person who had made similar allegations against the Union in 2020 in regards to the incident at Ichamati in which many of the union members were attacked by the illegal immigrants and which had led to the death of a member from Sohra Circle (L) Lurshai Hynniewta.

Thabah said the KSU is sending a clear message to the CWC to refrain from making false allegations because the KSU will not just sit idle and do nothing about it.

“If the CWC feels that they are at the receiving end residing in Meghalaya, they should consider going back to their place of origin, Bangladesh and then do whatever they want in their own homeland. But as long as they live in our Khasi land it is better for them not to interfere our affairs,” he said while adding  that the KSU reiterated its demand for implementation of the ILP, the article 371, empowerment of the district councils, that the cut off date should be March 24, 1971 and those coming after this, should be deported back to Bangladesh.
