The government has recommended that President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh should end, sources have told NDTV. If the President approves the cabinet's recommendation, political groups can explore government formation.

The cabinet made the recommendation based on a Home Ministry note that included a report from Governor JP Rajkhowa on the latest political situation in the sensitive border state.

According to sources, the last report from the Governor did indicate that political outfits had sought to form government.


On Monday, 31 lawmakers led by Congress dissident Kalikho Pul, met the Governor to stake claim.

The Congress rebel leader was accompanied by 19 Congress and 11 BJP legislators and two independent members.

In response, the Congress rushed to the Supreme Court and sought an order that no new government formation is permitted and status quo be maintained.

This session will also be like previous one. Congress has already planned two events Rohith of Hyderabad and Kanhaiya of JNU to disrupt the session.
