NEW DELHI: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday ruled out the imposition of President’s rule in Arunachal Pradesh, which witnessed widespread violence in the past four days, and said the State Government could not communicate properly to the people on the contentious PRC issue, leading to the unrest.
Rijiju also said the Pema Khandu-led BJP Government in the State should take all possible steps, including initiating dialogue with the civil society, to bring normalcy as early as possible, as there was confusion on the issue of granting Permanent Residence Certificate (PRC) to six communities.
“There is no question of imposition of President’s rule. The state Government should immediately work for restoring peace and bringing back normalcy. The protests took place as the State Government could not communicate properly to the people on the issue of PRC,” he told reporters here.
Rijiju also denied that there was any move to replace Chief Minister Pema Khandu by the ruling BJP.
