The reinstatement of the Harish Rawat government in Uttarakhand is a lesson for those who have been "trying to murder democracy and depose Congress-led governments", Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said on Thursday.

"I am capable enough to face any type of disaster, be it natural, manmade or political disaster," he said in a chat with reporters here on the sidelines of a conference on disaster risk reduction measures in chemical, petroleum and gas industries.

Virbhadra Singh said he was happy that it was the victory of democracy in Uttarakhand.

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday recommended revocation of President's Rule in Uttarakhand.

 

The decision came after the government told the Supreme Court that Rawat commanded legislative majority and his government would be restored.
