A day after the Harijan Panchayat Committee (HPC) sought the intervention of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to take up the Harijan Colony issue in a tripartite manner with Meghalaya government, cabinet minister and senior state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader AL Hek stated that it is a matter is an internal one.
“This is a subject of the state government and the matter has to be solved within the state only,” he said while talking about the relocation issue.
On the fear and insecurities of the residents of the colony after the improvised explosive device (IED) blast that targeted the area over the weekend, Hek said writing to Shah, who is also of the BJP, means the letter was written to the party and it will discuss the matter with its high command.
On the delay in relocating the residents of the colony, he said, “For any sensitive issue, things have to be understood very well before arriving at a decision. Both sides should be heard properly to arrive at an amicable solution.”
