Trinamool Congress leader, Dr Mukul Sangma has maintained that the statement made by him about the association of Chief Minister Conrad Sangma with an alleged kingpin, was to caution him.
Mukul had made serious allegation against the Chief Minister while taking part in the motion on the menace of drugs and substance abuse in the State on September 19.
The statement was expunged or removed from the records of assembly by the Speaker for violation of rules, the next day.
Speaking to reporters today, after he was served with a legal notice by Henry Lalremsanga, the Chairman of 2B’s Group of Companies, the former Chief Minister slammed Conrad for taking the matter outside the house.
He suggested that a legal notice should be instead directed towards the Chief Minister. “Inside the August House my statement was very clear. It has been more of an advisory and it is only the Chief Minister who has taken it outside the House. He (Henry) should send a legal notice to the chief minister,” he said.
Mukul said though he was yet to officially receive the legal notice he will examine under which provision of law a legal notice was issued.
Asked if the legal notice will go against the privileges of a member, Mukul said, “That is why I am saying which provisions of law provide him that opportunity to send me that legal notice will be examined.”
