The NCP accused the Arunachal Pradesh Governor of transforming the Raj Bhawan into the office of BJP.
Itanagar:
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today termed imposition of President's Rule as the "darkest" day in the history of Arunachal Pradesh.
Expressing solidarity with ruling Congress in the state, party's women wing President Fauzia Khan told reporters at Arunachal Press Club that the party would protest the 'hasty' decision of the Centre.
"The political situation in the state is very delicate and democracy has been sidelined," she said adding, the party is with Congress.
Criticising Governor Jyoti Prashad Rajkhowa for his decision to advance the assembly session, Ms Khan alleged that the Governor had transformed the Raj Bhawan into the office of BJP.
"This is no more a local issue but a national issue. If Raj Bhawan works as an office of BJP, it is very damaging for a democratic country," she said adding, the Governor cannot summon an assembly session without consulting the council of ministers.
"The Governor is supposed to act on the advice of the council of ministers. But when he acts as an RSS agent, it is very destructive," Ms Khan added.
When her attention was drawn to the feud among ruling Congress legislators which led to the crisis, Ms Khan said dissidence among party legislators was a different issue but dissident activities being engineered by another political party had created chaos in the peaceful state.
Asked on the cases being in the Supreme Court on the issue, the NCP leader said that the party would honour whatever judgement the court would pronounce.
On her party's stand if mid-term poll is announced, Ms Khan said that political parties are always ready for any polls.
On Chakma-Hajong refugee issue that rocked the state in recent times, she said that her party was not against granting citizenship to the refugees but opposes granting Scheduled Tribe status to them.
