National People’s Party (NPP) leader and Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister, Prestone Tynsong today dared the opposition Congress chief Vincent H Pala to file an FIR against the ruling parties if he has proof that they are indulging in the illegal collection.
“If he (Pala) does have documentary proof, I think the nearest police station is always there, let him file FIR because I don’t want to debate, why should we debate?” Tynsong told reporters while reacting to Pala’s allegation that COVID camps are becoming “ATMs” of the NPP and UDP during elections.
“But if the allegation is true, I think Congress has quite a number of legal experts within the party so the legal course of action should be taken and if not it is an only mere allegation,” he further maintained.
Tynsong also said that he also found the statement of the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) chief very immature when he alleged that the Meghalaya Democratic Alliance is divided more than the Congress party.
The deputy chief minister said the Congress can go for a legal course of action if they can substantiate their allegation, while adding, “The allegation made during the election is something which I personally feel voters understand better than anybody else.”
He continued, “I am not surprised with the way the Congress party keeps making an allegation against the MDA partners, be it NPP, be it UDP, be it PDF, be it HSPDP, be it NCP, be it BJP - so for me it is not a new thing as they don't have any agenda during this by-election.”
