If raising voice in favour of people of Jharkhand is committing crime in the eyes of AJSU Party’s top brass then I will commit the crime again and again, said Vikas Singh Munda, MLA Tamar, here on Tuesday.
Addressing a press conference on the back-drop of his suspension from the AJSU Party, Munda said, “The party forum has not informed me officially about my suspension. Even then I have not received any notice or show cause notice. Suddenly I heard the news of my suspension via media. My only fault was raising voice in favour of people of Jharkhand and it seems they have not liked it.”
Speaking on the issue Munda said, “On one side the party is supporting BJP led government and another side it is opposing its policies. It reflects the party’s dual mentality. The BJP led government is playing on the emotion of people either the party is silent or the party is opposing but the government is not hearing the voice. If the party has to support the government then it should publicise that all the policies of the government are right.”
Informing about reason of suspension he said, “I have raised the issues clearly at the party’s working committee meeting. Now time has come we take decision unanimously that we should go with public on the issue of the government’s anti-Jharkhand policies. Party’s big brass got unpalatable taste when I raised my voice on several issues like CNT Act, reservation of local and tribal in the State government’s jobs, Para teachers etc. I have raised my voice in support of Para teachers because they have been selected by village committees how the government can cancel their selection.”
“At present I am not going to join any party. I am going to discuss the whole matter with my close aides and then we will decide that what will be the next step towards future policy,” he said.
Meanwhile, clarifying the party’s stand on termination of the MLA, AJSU Party Spokesperson Devasharan Bhagat said, “Rather than keeping his point in the party fold, MLA Vikas Munda has broken the party’s dignity. He has neglected the internal system and he was constantly neglecting party workers in the Tamar Assembly constituency. Munda also did not participate in the party’s Central Working Committee meeting on December 9.”
