Congress launches scathing tirade against Pul

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT

Itagar, April 16: Several senior Congress leaders have attacked Chief Minister Kalikho Pul, BJP and Governor J P Rajkhowa for dislodging the Tuki led government in the state.

The occasion was to commemorate the birth anniversary of Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution but instead it was used to launch a scathing attack on the BJP for allegedly murdering the values of Constitution.

Addressing the Aruchal Pradesh Congress Committee organized programme, former Chief Minister bam Tuki said that democratically elected government in the state was deposed by BJP led central government by throwing away the sanctity of the constitutiol principles.

“The lust for power and treacherous mentality of the fundamentalist leadership in Delhi, who are keen to make people fight in the me of religion, caste, and tribe, tried all their tricks with the unscrupulous ideology of destroying peace and harmony through money and muscle power”, Tuki said.

He termed the over throw of his govt as match fixing by the Central Govt and Governor.

“It is painful to say that Raj Bhawan has been used politically. There was no interference from the previous governors,” he said.

While accusing the Pul govt of mishandling fince leading to crisis in the state, Tuki said that funds for Chief Minister’s Universal Health Insurance Scheme has been cut.

“This illegalgovernment has issued readymade cheque to those individuals whose projects have not been started. More than Rs 1,500 crore which belong to the small contractors has been kept pending”, said that former CM.

Former Speaker bam Rebia took a dig at the BJP leadership at the centre. We have a Govt. in the centre that kills the spirit and basic ideology of democracy. The Centre is playing games with sensitive states like Aruchal, Uttarakhand. We must not forget that on 26 January 2016, Modi gave a gift of ‘President’s Rule’ to Aruchal, he said.

Terming the Pul government as illegal, he said that those who ran away from the Congress are running away from the midterm poll.

He further expressed the hope that the Congress Party will get justice from the constitutiol bench of the Supreme Court of India.

Lok Sabha MP Ninong Ering said that he has raised the Aruchal issue in the parliament many times and ‘all the tiol parties have shown support.’ He said that bam Tuki will come back to form the government. Former MP Takam Sanjoy said that on 26th January, 2016 while the whole of India was celebrating the Republic Day, in Aruchal, it was darkness.

The reply is near and it will come soon, he said as he accused the rendra Modi government of tearing apart the history of the country. In 2019, this Govt. will receive the reply, Sanjoy said.

APCC President Padi Richo said that the theme of the day was “save constitution, save democracy”.

He further said that constitution was under threat as he said that people of the state have been manipulated by exterl forces, illegally.
