GUWAHATI: In a major boost to Meghalaya Progressive Alliance (MPA), thirteen non-Congress parties have demanded immediate revocation of President's rule (PR) in Meghalaya and removal of Governor RS Mooshahary. The non-Congress parties raised the demand at a conclave convened by NCP here on Sunday evening. The meeting of non-Congress parties was attended by representatives of UDP, BJP, AGP, CPI, NPF, JD(U), Purbanchaliya Loka Parishad (PLP), AUDF, Bodo People's Political Front (BPPF), National People's Party (NPP), Manipur People's Party (MPP), Kamatapur Progressive Party (KPP) and Nagaland People's Front (NPF).
The meeting also resolved to support the region-wide agitation to be launched by MPA against imposition of PR in Meghalaya and authorised NCP leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker Purno A Sangma to initiate all possible steps to revive the North East People's Forum (NEPF) to make the voice of the North-East heard in New Delhi and take on Congress in the coming Lok Sabha polls in the region.
Talking to the media immediately after the meeting, Mr Sangma said all the political parties, after discussing the situation in Meghalaya, condemned the Centre for its "unconstitutional" decision to put Meghalaya Assembly in suspended animation and impose PR in the State by "misusing" Article 356 of the Constitution.
The NCP leader said he would meet the MPA constituents in Shillong on Monday to chalk out an agitation programme against the Centre's decision to throw out the MPA Government that was functioning smoothly in the hill state.
Mr Sangma further said he would reconsider his decision to go on hunger strike to protest against imposition of PR on being requested by all non-Congress political parties to instead opt for campaign against Congress in the region.
On the national front, Mr Sangma said UPA was collapsing and that NCP, which had a seat-sharing arrangement with Congress only in Maharashtra, had kept its options open to take a decision on post-poll alliance on the basis of outcome of the Lok Sabha polls.
PTI adds from Shillong: NCP leader P A Sangma on Sunday cobbled up a non-Congress political forum in the North-East which, he said, would aggressively campaign against United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in the coming Lok Sabha polls.
