"The North East Congress Coordination Committee (NECCC) strongly condemns the statement of P A Sangma. It is an highly irresponsible statement," Lapang, also the chairman of NECCC, said.
A week ago, Sangma was critical that the prime minister is not from the Lok Sabha.
"I am a strong believer of the Parliamentary system of governance, but in the last several years, I have been a very disappointed man...For years Lok Sabha has failed to produce a prime minister," the former Lok Sabha Speaker had said.
Altogether 21 delegates of the NECCC met AICC chief Sonia Gandhi few days back and discussed the statement of Sangma, Lapang said.
