Channi questions Badal’s silence on use of Article 356 in Uttrakhand by Modi govt

Chandigarh, May 11 (UNI) Punjab Congress Legislature Party leader Charanjit Singh Channi today questioned deafening silence of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on the use of Article 356 of constitution by the Narendra Modi government to dismiss the Congress government in Uttrakhand.
In a statement here, the CLP leader reminded Mr Badal that his party has all along been opposed to the use of this article to dismiss the state government and been demanding that this clause must be removed from the constitution. He said it was ironic that both the Chief Minister and the Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal have preferred to keep their mouths sealed on the blatant misuse of this constitutional clause to impose President’s rule in Uttrakhand.
He pointed out that the judicial intervention had proved that the action by the centre was wrong. The Akali Dal, being the alliance partner of the BJP, was a party to this decision. He said Mr Badal must clarify his party position in case he had not forgotten the earlier stand of the party on Article 356. He blasted Mr Badal for resorting to politics of opportunism rather than being committed to any principles.
