SHILLONG, SEPT 25: Congress chief Vincent H Pala on Friday recalled the merger of 17 Congress MLAs with the Trinamool Congress during Metbah Lyngdoh’s tenure as Assembly Speaker, alleging that a one-sided order was passed then.
“I remember when Metbah was Speaker, 17 MLAs defected, he gave a one-sided order and today he is in the same position where the Congress was at that time,” Pala said.
Pala said the same lawyer who had represented the Congress in the disqualification case is now the UDP’s MP candidate.
“The same lawyer was his MP candidate. I hope his preparation for the disqualification – I don’t know whether they are preparing for filing disqualification petition. The present MP candidate of the UDP is a very good lawyer for filing disqualification and was a lawyer for the Congress at that time,” he said.
Pala said the UDP leadership will now have to face what the Congress faced earlier.
“I hope Metbah will also sing the same tune which the Congress was singing during that time, he will dance the same tune where the Congress was dancing at the time,” he added.
