Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Friday said the practice of issuing ultimatum didn't augur well for the state and urged all to desist from such acts.
I have been seeing lots of ultimatum being issued and it does not augur well for the state, Mukul Sangma said while reacting on the 24-deadline served by the pro-Inner Line permit organizations to release the arrested Khasi Students Union president Daniel Khyriem.
He added, "People should desist from serving so called ultimatum, whether it is by an NGO, group of NGOs or even political parties."
He maintained that any action by the government will always be guided by legal perspectives.
Whatever the government does expeditiously but not in hurry and pressure but with conscious decision is what the government is doing, he said, adding that it is important for all concerned, (including) the NGOs to have that much of confidence in the government.
KSU leader Daniel Khyriem was arrested yesterday from here and sent to 14 days judicial custody, for his alleged role in damaging properties worth several crore of rupees during the organisation's agitation two years ago.
Soon after his arrest, some organizations served a 48-hour deadline for his immediate and unconditional release by dropping all cases registered against him during the four-month anti non-tribal agitations in the second half of 2013.
