MDCs of the United Democratic Party (UDP) on Wednesday demanded disciplinary action against Nongkrem MDC Lambor Malngiang for his alleged anti-party activity by extending support to the National People’s Party (NPP)-led executive committee in the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC).
Malngiang had on Tuesday announced his decision to support the EC led by Pyniaid Sing Syiem.
Addressing media persons, UDP parliamentary party leader Titosstarwell Chyne said the emergent meeting of the parliamentary party has unanimously decided to write to the UDP chief Metbah Lyngdoh to immediately take disciplinary action against Malngiang.
He said Malngiang is an MDC of the party, who had joined recently and who had even contested the 2023 Assembly polls on an UDP ticket.
“We demand the party to take disciplinary action against him for his act of betrayal against the party and all the MDCs. Though, he had stated it is just a support but it clearly shows that he wanted to come out of the party,” Chyne said. According to him, it is upto the party to either suspend or expel the MDC.
