Congress in Uttarakhand today hailed the Supreme Court verdict quashing President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh and paving the way for reinduction of the party's government in the northeastern state saying the historic ruling will increase people's faith in democracy and the judicial system.
The historic judgement by the Supreme Court proves that imposition of President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh by the BJP government at the Centre was undemocratic and uncalled for. It was a murder of the spirit of democracy, Pradesh Congress President Kishor Upadhyay said.
Accusing BJP of tainting the country's politics by toppling or seeking to topple democratically elected opposition governments in Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Orissa, Bihar and Delhi, Upadhyay said the country's enlightened masses will take cognisance of the sins committed by the party in times to come and teach it a befitting lesson.
Describing the apex court's verdict as "historic" as it symbolised the victory of Indian democracy and the Constitution, Upadhyay congratulated the people of Arunachal Pradesh and his party colleagues in that state for their triumph over undemocratic forces.
In a major blow to the BJP government at the Centre, the Supreme Court today quashed President's rule in Arunachal Pradesh and ordered reinstatement of the Congress government there.
