It was 'murder' of democracy in Meghalaya, claims ousted CM

New Delhi, Mar 20 : Terming the imposition of President's rule in Meghalaya as "murder of democracy", ousted chief minister Donkupar Roy today accused Governor R S Moosahary of acting as a "stooge" of Congress party.

"It is nothing but murder of democracy in Meghalaya," Roy told PTI.

Claiming that the Centre's decision to impose President's rule in Meghalaya was "highly illegal" and "unconstitutional", Roy accused Moosahary of sending a "wrong" report to the Centre on the March 17 events in the Assembly when the Meghalaya Progressive Alliance government won the trust vote.

"The Governor blatantly supported the Congress. He has become a stooge of Congress party," Roy, who is camping in New Delhi, said and vowed to fight against the "unethical and unwarranted" move of the Central government in the Supreme Court till they get justice.

"We will fight till the last to get justice," he said adding "I have full faith in the judiciary. It is the judiciary, which can save the country". MORE
