मेघालय विधानसभा में राज्यपाल के हिंदी में भाषण पर हंगामा: विपक्ष ने वॉकआउट किया, VPP के विधायक बोले- केंद्र हम पर हिंदी नहीं थोप सकता

CM Conrad Sangma said that the Governor did not know how to read English properly, so he gave a speech in Hindi.

The budget session of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly began on Monday with ruckus. When Governor Fagu Chauhan gave his speech in Hindi, the MLAs of four parties including Voice of the People’s Party (VPP) got angry. The legislators walked out of the House. Assembly Speaker Thomas A. Sangma and Chief Minister Conrad Sangma tried to convince him, but even then he did not agree.

Before the walkout, there was a scuffle between VPP MLA Ardent Miller Basaivamoit and Chief Minister Sangma. Basaivamoit said that Meghalaya is not a Hindi-speaking state, so the Governor’s speech in Hindi was against the sentiments of the people. The central government cannot impose Hindi on the people of the state. The official language of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly is English and the local languages ​​are Khasi and Garo.

Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said on the matter that such behavior was not expected from a senior legislator.

We do not understand what the Governor says in Hindi
MLA Basaivamoit said that what the Governor speaks in Hindi, we do not understand anything. That’s why we don’t want to be a part of this proceedings. Those who do not have any problem can continue sitting in the House.

The speaker of the assembly had given permission to give a speech in Hindi.
Assembly Speaker Thomas A Sangma said that the Governor can address the House in Hindi. A copy of his speech was given to all the members of the assembly in English. CM Conrad Sangma said that the Governor did not know how to read English properly, so he gave a speech in Hindi. The MLAs have insulted the Governor by walking out even after the Speaker stopped them. The CM urged all the members to maintain the decorum of the assembly.
