The Garo Students’ Union (GSU) Phulbari regional unit and the Garoland State Movement Committee (GSMC) have refuted claims made by Tura MDC, Bernard Marak that more than 300 persons including members of the two organisations had joined the party recently.
Earlier today, Marak had posted that one John Keats Sangma had joined the BJP along with 300 members, including NGO members. He even posted a photo in this regard. The 300 that joined were apparently supporters of the Congress in Phulbari constituency.
The GSMC and GSU however refuted the claims stating that they had gone to the programme for moral support to John Keats Sangma at Phulbari.
“The statement made by the Tura MDC is completely false. We object to such misleading information that was used to garner public support for his party. We had only gone there to support our brother who is also a social activist. We have not joined any political party and are not involved in politics,” said the two NGOs in a press release issued today.
