Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaSeptember 26, 2022

Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday said there has been no communication from the BJP that it will pull out of the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance government.

“No there is no communication. I mean it should not come to me but it is within BJP, so the question should be asked to them,” Sangma told reporters.

The chief minister also refused to comment on the statement made by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Dr Mohan Madhukarrao Bhagwat that all people living in India are Hindus in terms of identity.

However, disagreeing with Bhagwat, the CM said, “India is a secular nation and as a secular nation we all have a right to follow whichever religion that we feel.”

“Those are comments made by him. He has right to say whatever he feels about it. Therefore, he said it in his capacity as a head of organization and those are his views. I have no comments on his personal views but as I said as a nation and as a country and constitutionally we are a secular Nation,” he said.
