Rajnath Singh rebuts TRS argument over spl powers to Governor

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh gave a point-by-point rebuttal quoting from the AP Bifurcation Act to refute the claims of the TRS members in Lok Sabha on Monday.

He said the provisions of the act were very clear about the special powers of the Governor in respect of law and order.
Rajnath Singh said that the provisions in the advisory were based on the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act through which the state of Telangana was created.
The home minister read out portions from the act to substantiate his statement.
" The act has not been violated in any way," he said.
Earlier, the members of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi raised in the Lok Sabha the issue of granting special powers over law and order in Hyderabad to the governor.
As soon as the Lok Sabha assembled on Monday, the TRS members moved an adjournment motion to discuss the issue.
When the speaker disallowed the motion, they shouted slogans forcing a brief adjournment of the proceedings.
When the house reassembled, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan assured them that the issue would be allowed to be raised during Zero Hour.
Raising the matter during Zero Hour, TRS parliamentary party leader AP Jitender Reddy asked the government whether they were attempting to bring governor's rule in every state in the country.
