Former Supreme Court Judge Markandey Katju - Sakshi Post

New Delhi: Following AP government's crackdown on social media activists, former Supreme Court Judge Markandey Katju on Wednesday appealed to President Pranab Mukerjee to dissolve the AP legislative Assembly and impose President's rule in the state.

Taking to his Twitter handle, Katju termed the Chandrababu Naidu government as unconstitutional, autocratic and undemocractic for going against the right to freedom of speech and expression in the Indian Constitution.

"The present AP government is not being run in accordance with the Constitution and under Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, in such an event, President's rule should be imposed in the state," he tweeted.

He tagged AP CM N. Chandrababu Naidu, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Prime Minister Office in the tweet.
