Meghalaya Minister and BJP leader Sanbor Shullai was surrounded by protesters during a public consultation meeting on Wednesday, as demonstrators demanded the cancellation of the proposed Shillong Peak Ropeway project.
The minister, who represents the South Shillong constituency, had to be escorted out of the venue by his personal security officer following the protest.
The demonstrators opposed the proposed project, raising concerns over its implementation and demanding that it be scrapped.
Reacting to the incident, Shullai alleged that the protests were politically motivated. He also questioned whether those opposing the project were genuinely concerned about environmental protection or were pursuing political interests.
