Shillong: The Meghalaya Progressive Alliance (MPA) on Tuesday voiced its protest against the removal of state's Advocate General G S Massar and appointment of K S Kynjing to the post.
Governor R S Mooshahary removed Mr Massar, who had ignored his directives ahead of the trust vote of the dismissed NCP-backed MPA coalition government, from the post last night.
''The sudden removal of Mr Massar as the state's Advocate General and appointing Mr Kynjing, a Congress supporter, has indicated that the governor is functioning on the advice of the Congress,'' former Chief Minister Dr Donkupar Roy told UNI here.
Dr Roy also expressed doubt whether the new appointments of Mr Kynjing as state's Advocate General and S P Mahanta as his deputy had been discussed in the Union Cabinet.
The MPA had appointed Mr Massar as Advocate General soon after assuming power in March 2008. (UNI)
