Mohali: Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit has turned down the request of the Aam Aadmi Party to call a Special Session of the Assembly for a motion of confidence.
According to a statement, the request was turned down due to the absence of specific rules regarding the summon of a special assembly session and withdrew the earlier order of the session on September 22.
Aam Aadmi Party Convernor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and added “How can the governor refuse a session called by the cabinet? Then democracy is over.” He further added that “Two days ago, the Governor gave permission for the session. When Operation Lotus started failing and the number was not completed, a call came from above asking to withdraw the permission.”
राज्यपाल कैबिनेट द्वारा बुलाए सत्र को कैसे मना कर सकते हैं? फिर तो जनतंत्र खतम है
दो दिन पहले राज्यपाल ने सत्र की इजाज़त दी। जब ऑपरेशन लोटस फ़ेल होता लगा और संख्या पूरी नहीं हुई तो ऊपर से फ़ोन आया कि इजाज़त वापिस ले लो
आज देश में एक तरफ़ संविधान है और दूसरी तरफ़ ऑपरेशन लोटस। pic.twitter.com/BHwuyUG23X
