He said the Congress president will return to Shillong for an executive committee meeting of the Meghalaya Congress and will attend the music concert “Celebrate Peace and Way of Life” a celebration of Meghalaya’s music, culture, and way of life of the people of the state.
“The musical festival would be a celebration of peace and way of life in Meghalaya since at present, the country has seen many things happen which are against the Constitution,” AICC Coordinator in-charge elections in Meghalaya, Yashomita Thakur said.
“What to eat, how to live…it is being imposed. The people of Meghalaya believe in the spirit of secularism. We want to spread through this music concert the message of peace, liberty and secularism,” she told journalists.
While Congress is trying its best to retain the state despite the mass defection taking place in Congress, BJP is trying to wrest the state from the Grand Old Party.
