Central rule has been imposed in Arunachal Pradesh after President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday gave his assent to Union Cabinet’s recommendation.
Justifying the Centre’s move, Minister of State for Home Kiran Rijiju had earlier said the Cabinet was forced to take the decision because of a Constitutional breakdown as six months had lapsed between two sessions of the state assembly.
On Monday, President Pranab Mukherjee had called Home Minister Rajnath Singh and put some queries to him on the need for the imposition of President’s rule.
