Shillong, Aug. 29: When he sang, the nation applauded and his home state
dropped communal differences to drum up support for the voice that did it
proud.
Meghalaya’s favourite Indian Idol 3 contestant, Amit Paul, will now
don the mantle of brand ambassador for the hill state.
Chief minister D.D. Lapang today announced that the government was
finalising Amit Paul as the Meghalaya brand ambassador for peace, communal
harmony and excellence.
“I am very proud of Amit Paul and his success proves that music breaks
barriers of hatred. He has brought unity in diversity,” Lapang said.
The Shillong Music Arts and Lovers’ Forum had earlier approached Lapang to
gather support for the young singer.
Today, Lapang convened a meeting — attended by ministers Debora Marak,
Zenith Sangma, Nehlang Lyngdoh, chief secretary Ranjan Chatterjee,
additional chief secretary W.M.S. Pariat, additional directors-general of
police Anil Pradhan and B. Kezo and members of the arts forum — where he
promised all support to help Paul bag the coveted crown.
The chief minister appealed to the residents of
Meghalaya to vote for Amit to brighten his chances for a shot at the
title.
Calling Amit a symbol of communal harmony, Lapang said people from all
communities in the state have been voting for him. He also released posters
of the Northeast’s newest pin-up boy during the meeting.
“I had spoken to my counterpart in
West Bengal to drum up support for Amit Paul,” said chief secretary
Ranjan Chatterjee.
West Bengal, however, has its own candidate — Prashant Tamang — a
constable with Calcutta Police. As Friday’s elimination round approaches,
Amit’s fans and the government are making frantic efforts to ensure that he
gets sufficient votes to make him the frontrunner.
Lapang has also asked his ministers to speak to BSNL officials to reduce SMS
tariffs so that more people can send in their votes
