Shillong, Feb 20: The state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expressed shock and deep anguish over the sudden passing of Shillong MP Dr Ricky AJ Syngkon.

“(We are) shocked and deeply anguished by the sudden demise of Dr. Ricky Andrew Jones Syngkon, Member of Parliament from Shillong constituency,” BJP state president Rikman G Momin said on Friday.

“We remember Dr Syngkon fondly as one of the foremost academicians of our state, as a man who was always brimming with life and a human being whose warmth touched one and all,” Momin said in a condolence statement.

Dr Syngkon was a true believer of God and worked hard towards keeping the interest of Meghalaya’s indigenous communities at the forefront of national affairs, Momin added.

“His demise has left a void in state politics that will be hard to fill,” he said, praying for Dr Syngkon’s soul to rest in peace.
