Opposition coalition Meghalaya People's Front (MPF) today demanded that the Congress led state government convene a Special Session of the Assembly to discuss the recent High Court order for framing uniform laws on headmen.
"We request you to convene a Special Session to discuss this important issue," MPF secretary James K Sangma said in a letter to Assembly Speaker AT Mondal.
Meghalaya High Court recently directed the state government to frame uniform laws on the functioning of the traditional chiefs (headmen).
The decision to demand a special session of the Assembly was taken at a recent meeting of MPF consisting of United Democratic Party, National People's Party, Garo National Council and Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement.
