"We have decided to convene a meeting on May 8 with all political parties in the state in view of the suggestions that had come up from them," Chief Minister Mukul Sangma told reporters here.
He said, "I have reasons to believe that something productive will emerge as we discuss and we will take necessary steps emerged after the meet with all political parties."
Urging the agitating NGOs to wait for the "outcome of the engagement" with the political parties, Chief Minister said "the government will explore the possibilities to ensure that ideas and suggestions from all concerned could be incorporated in this issue."
Stating that six persons were detected by the authorities for attaching fake documents to get themselves enrolled in the electoral roll of the state, Mukul maintained that the government "will not allow" anybody to take advantage of the various procedures adopted by the Election Commission of India for facilitating of enrolment of eligible voters.
The fact that the authorities have detected the attempt to cheat implies that there is a system in place, he said.
The Chief Minister warned against those found to have supported their application with fake documents and said FIR will be filed against them and case will be registered which will result in the law enforcing agencies prosecuting them according to the law of the land. More PTI JOP RG HKS
