Haflong, March 18, 2021 : Dima Hasao District Congress Committee (DCC) spokesperson Samarjit Haflongbar on Thursday clarified the criticism made by CEM NCHAC Debolal Gorlosa over introduction of Panchayati Raj system in Dima Hasao district.
He also said that the Village Council is under the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India, but Panchayati Raj system is under the 11th Schedule of the constitution.
CEM Debolal Gorlosa on Wednesday alleged that the congress governed council led by it then CEM Debojit Thaosen is the architect of the panchayati raj system and in 2012, at the meeting of the Executive Committee, the Panchayati Raj Act was adopted and sent to the Governor for approval.
The CEM also said that they have sent a letter to the Governor in 2019 demanding the withdrawal of the law which was discussed in the council’s executive meeting in October 2019.
Haflongbar, who is also an former MLA and CEM said that members of the then Executive Committee are now his executive committee, so before blaming others the CEM should firstly look over his house and decide who to blame.
Meanwhile in a separate press-meet, ex CEM Debojit Thaosen said that the letter send to the Assam Governor during his tenure is for approval of Village Council which has nothing to do with Panchayati Raj and is also included in Memorandum of Settlement (MoU) which was sign between now disband militant group DHD, Government of Assam and Government of India.
Thaosen said that CEM Gorlosa has no knowledge between the two, so he is also confusing the public too.
He also said that if a bill is send to governor for approval its will not have take more than 6 months to approve and no sarpanch were appointed at that time.
He also question that if the council’s executive committee have send a letter to Governor how can be the now MACs of each constituency be appointed as ‘Sarpanch’?
