Shillong, June 5: The state BJP president Ernest Mawrie on Monday relieved former GHADC chief Boston Marak as party’s Schedule Tribe (ST) Morcha president after Lokayukta chargesheeted him along with 12 others in an alleged scam related to construction works under the Council.

“I am relieving him (Marak) from all responsibilities with immediate effect and forwarding his matter to the disciplinary committee for suggesting what action should be taken against him,” Mawrie told reporters.

He said the decision taken after the Lokayukta had charge-sheeted Marak and in view that the BJP is practicing zero tolerance on corruption.
