Tynsong says MDA to take up ILP, language issue with PM, slams Mukul for singing different tune on ILP

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaDecember 14, 2022

Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong on Wednesday said the MDA government will take up the ILP and language issues with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the state on December 18.

Tynsong informed that the MDA government will meet the Prime Minister on December 18. “We will again remind these two pending issues, ILP and Khasi-Garo languages,” he said.

Reacting strongly against Mukul’s allegation that the MDA government had betrayed the people on ILP, Tynsong said, “I was surprised that the very same person that time when he (Mukul) was the chief minister of Meghalaya he was the one who was deadly against the implementation of ILP and again now he is singing different tune as Leader of Opposition.”

“I think you need to ask from Mukul Sangma what is wrong with you at that point of time you are deadly against implementation of ILP and what happen now just because you sitting opposite the treachery bench you are saying we need ILP.  So let people of Meghalaya judge and let people of Meghalaya also find out his true colour on this particular issue,” he said.

Tynsong recalled that the former chief minister had maintained hundred times in the cabinet that Meghalaya do not need ILP.

The deputy chief minister said, “Ultimately why I resigned from Congress it is because of him. He was a dictator so we can’t speak anything…Therefore, we don’t need to talk about that but my statement stand and my question to Mukul Sangma being Leader of Opposition is why at that point of time you said very clearly no ILP and you knew it that time law and order problem had already started to crop up with so many NGOs. Then now why did you again the very same person say we need ILP.”
