AHAM called for maintaining of status quo for job reservation

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJanuary 28, 2022

The Achik Holistic Awakening Movement called for maintaining of status quo for job reservation and demanded holding of winter session in Garo Hills Region.

The organisation has and will stand for the status quo of the reservation policy which was in agreement when the state was carved out for the three sister tribes of the state and would like to honour legendary leaders of the state who has decided in the best interest of the people of the state.

The policy scripted, enacted and sealed should at best be fought at the policy level which the democratic Constitution of India provides rather at the streets which at best would only generate disturbances of the communal harmony of the state.

The organisation would therefore request benevolent people who would like to fight injustice for the people to take a stand not for their benefit but actually for the people who are struggling in poverty, stands to fight corruption and the unjust policies that are threatening the very existence of traditions and culture of Achik people would like to take a stand in condemning the activities and voices that are trying to flare up communal violence giving way to usher in the anti-nationals and social evils to creep in just to satiate the selfish intentions of few vested individuals.

The political gimmick and remarks which are threatening to the law and order of the state should be nip at the bud and the organisation therefore, request the present government not to entertain the political stunts and remarks to scrap policies which are maintained for 50 years of statehood.

The policy scripted, enacted and sealed should at best be fought at the policy level which the democratic Constitution of India provides rather at the streets which at best would only generate disturbances of the communal harmony of the state.

The organisation would therefore request benevolent people who would like to fight injustice for the people to take a stand not for their benefit but actually for the people who are struggling in poverty, corruptions, injustice, etc., rather than throw issues that would bring law and order problem in the state.

The organisation has yet again would like to bring to the notice of the people of Garo Hills that state government is yet to implement a Winter Assembly and Additional Secretariat in Tura, which was in agreement when the state was carved out and we would like to see the present government realising the agreement which was 50 years ago, where the government of the state functions 6 months from Tura and 6 months from Shillong.

The organisation shall be doing a signature campaign very soon on the issues of Winter Assembly in Tura and hold rallies and agitations at full scale in coming days.
