However, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Tuesday termed the allegation of former chief minister Dr. Mukul Sangma over a photograph of him and a person who was arrested as kingpin in a drug haul in Manipur, as the most ridiculous way of proving anything.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad said that it is sad that a person of Mukul’s level brought in a photograph and just jumped to a conclusion. Terming it as the most ridiculous thing and said that as a Chief Minster, which makes them a public figure, will eventually end up clicking pictures with thousands of people.

He stated that any actions taken in this regard would follow the established rules and procedures of the House. Ultimately, he emphasized the importance of evidence and proof when making such serious allegations.
