Meghalaya Governor Satyapal Malik raps Centre on farmers’ stir

Tribune News Service
Hisar, April 23

Meghalaya Governor Satyapal Malik has described the attitude of the Centre towards the farmers’ agitation as “tyrannical” and “condemnable” while adding that attempt was made to “torpedo” and “defame” the agitation instead of opening up dialogue with the protesting farmers.

The Governor has responded to a letter by Independent MLA from Charkhi Dadri Sombir Sangwan who is also ‘pradhan’ of Sangwan khap. Sangwan — on behalf of the kisan mahapanchayat held on April 11 at Kitlana toll plaza in Bhiwani district – had written a letter to Malik seeking his views regarding the farmers’ stir.

Sangwan told The Tribune today that he got a two-page letter from the Governor on Whatsapp today.
