23/02/2022 Aizawl: Zoram People's Movement Party submitted to Lokayukta a request for investigation on Mizoram Legislative Assembly Speaker Pu Lalrinliana Sailo and his alleged corruption case.
Citing a recently viral leaked audiotape the party submitted a letter of request to Lokayukta and asked the institution to investigate the allegation of corruption.
It is important to note that, following the allegations, MLAs of the opposition parties in Mizoram – Congress and Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) staged a walkout, on Wednesday, during the ongoing budget session of Mizoram Assembly. The controversy erupted at a time when Sailo’s name came to the fore in a row between villagers of Ngaizawl and a sub-contractor over the delay and sub-standard of work for the 13-km Khawzawl to Ngaizawl road recently.
Pu Lalrinliana Sailo however denied the allegations against him in a speech inside the Assembly House where he said he hasn't profited a penny from anybody, by God's grace.
