Lauding the judgement of Supreme Court on Arunachal Pradesh, CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury today said it has proved how BJP government is trying to destroy the fundamental features of the Constitution.
"Today Supreme Court judgement on Arunachal Pradesh is a clear saying ... The judgement has said correctly that this was violation of the fundamental features of Constitution. All we are witnessing is onslaught on secular democracy by the BJP and the RSS," Yechury said while addressing a programme here.
Stating that it was "probably the first time" that the apex court reversed President's rule imposed by central government, Yechury said RSS and BJP have been trying to push through their communal agenda throughout the country.
The CPI(M) Politburo earlier in the day issued a statement and had demanded that the Central government to heed this verdict and stop its growing authoritarian tendency of invoking Central rule in states that have governments of opposition parties.
In a blow to BJP and the Centre, the Supreme Court ordered restoration of Congress government in Arunachal Pradesh by quashing as "unconstitutional" the Governor's decision to advance the Legislative Assembly session by a month in December last.
