Punish my brother if he is found guilty: Kyrmen
Cabinet minister Kyrmen Shylla on Thursday said action should be taken against his family members if they are found indulging in illegal coal mining.
“If it is proven that my family members are involved, they should be picked up and question and inquiry should be done against them…they should be punished as per law,” Shylla told reporters.
He was reacting to the allegation that his brother B Shylla was involved in the recent incident of illegal coal mining, which killed six labourers at Sorkari near Rymbai village in East Jaintia Hills district.
Shylla however urged the authority concerned to conduct a proper inquiry into the incident and ensure that innocent people should not be punished.
Asked, the minister said he does not know why his brother’s name keep coming up again and again. “If he is involved, he should be punished, if I am involved, I should also be punished as the law is equal for everyone,” he said.
