New Delhi : Congress today demanded the resignation of Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu and the imposition of President’s Rule in the state following violence over the controversial permanent residence certificate (PRC) issue.
A press conference was called today where State Congress President Takam Sanjoy said,
“The Chief Minister (Pema Khandu) and his council of ministers have no more right to continue in office as the people of the state have lost faith in them when they decided to grant the PRC to six non-Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribes communities.”
“Four people were killed in firing triggered by the state police and the Army on Sunday. Isn’t this a breakdown of law and order in the state?” he asked demanding imposition of President’s Rule in the state.
Besides Khandu, the Congress has also demanded the sacking of Union Minister of State for Home, Kiren Rijiju, who is also an MP from West Arunachal parliamentary constituency.
Former CM of Arunachal Pradesh Nabam Tuki was also present at the special meet along with Former CM of Goa Luizinho Faleiro.
