Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa, who refused to quit even after
being nudged by the Centre, was sacked as Governor of Arunachal Pradesh
on Monday Sep 12,2016
A Rashtrapati Bhavan communique said Rajkhowa “shall cease to hold the office of the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh”.
President
Pranab Mukherjee has asked Meghalaya Governor V. Shanmuganathan to
discharge the functions in addition to his own duties, until regular
arrangements are made, it said.
Rajkhowa, who was
appointed the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh on May 12, 2015, was the
first gubernatorial appointee of the Modi government and has also been
sacked by it after informing the President that the government has “lost
trust” in him.
