Leader of the opposition Dr Mukul Sangma today said that the Congress had taken a conscious decision to move a resolution for the removal of the Speaker, Metbah Lyngdoh.
Resolutions to remove Speakers require 14 days’ notice, hence it was moved yesterday in order that it can be taken up during the next Assembly session, which will begin on September 10.
The petition submitted to the Assembly Secretariat was signed by Congress legislators Zenith Sangma, George B Lyngdoh, Kimfa S Marbaniang and Himalaya M Shangpliang.
On whether the opposition will seek the support of the MDA coalition partners, Sangma said, “We will be looking at issues which will draw the attention of every member of the august house vis-à-vis our responsibility towards the people and towards the state.”
