Congress responsible for President’s rule more than 100 times: Kiren Rijiju

New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing row over President’s Rule in Arunachal Pradesh, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has alleged that Congress was responsible for imposition of central rule more than 100 times in various states on ‘flimsy grounds’.
“President Rule is imposed only in a special case. Congress Party had imposed PR more than 100 times on flimsy grounds, including Arunachal Pradesh in the past,” he said in a Facebook post after Central rule was imposed in the border state.

Rijiju said Congress must apologise to the people of Arunachal Pradesh for failing to remain as united, corruption free and accountable to the people.

The Union Minister of State for Home said Congress MLAs were not small kids who can be forced by others. “If the Centre was in a hurry it could have intervened when the Assembly was sealed or when Raj Bhavan was seized with ugly slaughtering of precious Mithuns, closing and burning of tyres at Raj Bhavan roads by Congress leaders,” he said.

The imposition of President’s Rule has come under the scanner of the Supreme Court which has sought the report of Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa recommending central rule, saying “it is too serious a matter”.
