Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaApril 6, 2023

The Voice of the People Party Meghalaya asked the NPP led MDA-II Govt to convene a special session of the State Assembly for discussion and debate on the need to review the present Reservation Policy.

In a letter to Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, Dr. Ricky A. J. Syngkon who is the party General Secretary drew attention of the Chief Minister to the vexed and pertinent issue on the Roster System and the state Job Reservation Policy.

He also said that the matter is indeed a serious and grave matter of concern across the state that warrants a serious debate, discussion and resolution.

Syngkon quoting the ruling of High Court in PIL No.2 of 2023 dated 03.04.2023 said “These are policy matters that are best left to the legislature and the executive and upon a firm stand being taken, it will be open to any citizen affected thereby to question the propriety thereof in accordance with law,”
