Attorney General meets PM, says Cong govt to be restored in Arunachal

New Delhi: The Congress government headed by Nabam Tuki will be restored in Arunachal Pradesh in the wake of the Supreme Court judgement quashing all decisions of the Governor which had precipitated its fall in December last.

"The judgement has to be implemented and the Governor will take all necessary actions and steps," Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said after a high-level meeting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence.

He said the action has to be taken by the Governor as the Central government has no role to play and also it was not a party in the matter.

Rohatgi said as of now no decision has been taken to file any review petition immediately on the Supreme Court verdict.
