Meghalaya BJP demands arrest of illegal coal transporters

Shillong, Oct 8 (UNI) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a constituent of the National People’s Party (NPP)-led ruling Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA), on Thursday demanded “immediate arrest” of the people involved in illegal coal transportation from the state.
“Home Minister Lakhmen Rymbui should order immediate arrest of the people involved in the illegal coal racket which was cracked by the Assam Police a day ago. The Home Minister should not act arbitrarily when it has come to light that Power Minister James Sangma was involved,” a statement issued by Meghalaya State BJP vice- president Bernard Marak said.
“Rymbui opposed CBI inquiry in the scams in GHADC (Garo Hills Autonomous District Council) and this seems to be the reason why they did not allow a CBI inquiry because they are involved in illegal and unlawful activities. Former home minister James Sangma was removed for his involvement in illegal coal transportation and he seems to be still controlling the coal mafia network,” Marak alleged.
Urging Home Minister not to hide the "high level culprits" who are exploiting the public and the coalition partners, the BJP Vice President said, “It was confirmed in some media report that Power Minister James Sangma was involved. If James is involved in illegal transportation of coal, he should be immediately arrested along with others.”
“The State Government should stop functioning like mafia gang, cheating the public and making maximum self profit. BJP had faith in the coalition of NPP but the way corruption is taking place in the State, we fear of trusting NPP,” Marak said.
The BJP, which has two elected representatives to the 60-member House assembly, one of whom is a Health and Family Welfare Minister in the Conrad Sangma-led government.
“We want justice to be served by arresting the big shots involved in the illegal coal transportation. People are losing hope in the corruption we see every day, therefore restore good governance in the State. Home Minister Rymbui must stop being biased by siding with the Ministers involved while poor drivers are put behind bars. Such illegal activity should not be tolerated at any cost. Law is equal for all,” Marak asserted.
