The Centre has recommended for imposition of President's
rule in Arunachal Pradesh following the huge political turmoil prevailing in
the state. Th recommendation has been sent to President Pranab Mukherjee for
his consideration.
In an unscheduled meeting called by Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on Sunday, the union cabinet recommended President's rule in the state.
According to sources the government has consulted the Attorney General and
concluded that law and order and governance in the state has collapsed which
called for central intervention in the state.
The Congress party, which is ruling the state, has
criticised the decision as trampling of democracy and said it would fight the
case in court "tooth and nail".
Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal attacked Prime Minister
Narendra Modi for the crisis and called him the “fountainhead” of political
intolerance.
Chief Minister Nabam Tuki said, “This is really shocking as
the Centre did not consult the state government before taking such a harsh
decision. Arunachal is absolutely peaceful without even a single case of law
and order breakdown reported in the past month.”
The political chaos started in Arunachal Pradesh on December
16 when 21 rebel Congress lawmakers joined 11 BJP and 2 independent members and
tried to impeach Speaker Nabam Rebia at a makeshift venue. Chief Minister Nabam
Tuki, including 27 MLAs in the 60-member Assembly boycotted the session calling
the move unconstitutional and illegal.
