SHILLONG, Oct 13: The use of unparliamentary words during Friday’s session of the KHADC has landed Umsning MDC, Donkupar Sumer in trouble wherein he was forced to apologize for the statement he had made.
During the discussion on the Zero Hour motion on the use of the Rs. 133 crore special assistance grant of the Central Government, Sumer had said that this fund has resulted in the division of not only political parties but also Church leaders (tymmen basan).
Sharply reacting to this, the Chief Executive Member of the KHADC, Pynshngain N Syiem said that the words ‘tymmen basan’ cannot be used during the Council session and immediately demanded that Sumer withdraws his statement and apologizes for making it.
Realizing his mistake, Sumer immediately apologized for his statement and asked that the statement is expunged from the proceedings of the house.
