Must read

Shillong, Dec 22: All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) leader and former chief minister Dr. Mukul Sangma expects a favorable verdict on the petition seeking their disqualification, but at this point doesn’t want to ‘presume or assume anything’.

“We will leave it to the office of the Speaker and will not presume or assume anything,” Sangma told reporters.

The 12 MLAs have already submitted before the Speaker their responses to the petition filed by the Congress leader Ampareen Lyngdoh seeking their disqualification as per the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution.

Dr. Sangma, however, said that the relevant provisions of the Constitution and expected interpretations of the relevant provisions of the Tenth Schedule of Constitution of India will ultimately determine how the overall expected ruling will be.

“We do not doubt or we do not foresee or anticipate anything contrary to what we expect,” he said.

The former chief minister said that the conscious decision taken by the 12 MLAs was taken after a long drawn exercise and due diligence.

“Therefore, whatever we are doing is with complete clarity and without any iota of doubt or confusion so we know what we are doing and what we are doing is completely because our priority still remain towards our responsibility on protecting the interests of the people, the state and enabling people to realize their dreams and aspirations based on the kind of faith and confidence they have upon us,” he said.
