Former Meghalaya CM Mukul Sangma rues lack of unity among tribals

Shillong, Sep 13 (UNI) Leader of opposition in Meghalaya Assembly Dr. Mukul Sangma was emotional and almost in tears on Monday while ruing the lack of unity among the indigenous tribes of the State.
“The problem in Meghalaya is that the major tribes, I must tell you frankly from my observation all through my career as a politician, who belong to different political parties have not been able to unite our three major tribes, whether the Congress or any other political party,” Sangma told reporters.
The former chief minister said that every time, irrespective of who the leader is, there is always a whispering campaign as to why should "a Garo be the Chief Minister or why a Khasi be the Chief Minister".
