The Meghalaya Assembly Committee on Women Empowerment (CWE) Monday recommended institution of an independent inquiry into the November 8 attack of RTI activist Agnes Kharshiing and her aide Amita Sangma in East Jaintia Hills district.
The committee headed by Opposition Congress MLA Ampareen Lyngdoh will also submit a preliminary report on the findings of the committee on the November 8 attack before the Assembly Speaker Donkupar Roy at the special session Tuesday.
"It (The government) is hereby recommended that an Independent inquiry be instituted to probe the matter. The recommendation was made as the investigation is very slow," Ampareen told mediapersons here.
She said, "There were too many missing links in the case. There are too many details that were not made available to the committee."
