Shillong, May 31: A resolution was passed by the committee headed by Ampareen Lyngdoh to recommend for an expert committee to the government to review the job reservation policy of the state.
VPP leader Ricky A J Syngkon, who attended the meeting of all the political parties on Wednesday, told reporters that this was decided in the meeting chaired by Ampareen, who is the chairperson of the commitee.
However, Syngkon said the VPP president Ardent Basaiawmoit will continue his fasting till the party gets an official notification regarding the expert committee to review the reservation policy.
However, earlier while breifing reporters, Ampareen said that the formation of the expert committee was only one of the suggestions of the members who attended the meeting.
“There were suggestions from some members for status-quo on reservation policy, while others were for forming a committee but we asked the members to substantiate their demand with legal backing”, Ampareen said.
According to the minister, all the suggestions emerged during the meeting will be presented to the government as the committee has not taken any final decision.
She did not mention regarding the resolution on the need to form an expert committee to review the reservation policy.
When pointed out that Ampareen did not speak anything about the resolution passed by the committee regarding expert committee, Syngkon reiterated, “The resolution was indeed passed by the committee”.
