Chennai: While Chief Minister M K Stalin said West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar’s act of proroguing the Assembly is ‘without any propriety’, the latter said the House was prorogued at the government’s request and that the Tamilnadu CM’s remark was harsh and not based on fact.
The Governor tweeted, ‘Find it unusually expedient to respectfully invite indulgent attention of TN CM @mkstalin that his extremely harsh hurtful observations are not in the least in conformity with facts- attached order. Assembly was prorogued at express request @MamataOfficial @rajbhavan_tn.’ Dhankhar had prorogued the Assembly from Saturday based on the state government’s recommendation.
Following this, Stalin tweeted, ‘The act of #WestBengal Governor to prorogue the WB Assembly Session is without any propriety expected from the exalted post and goes against the established norms and conventions.’
He added, ‘the ‘symbolic’ head of the State should be the role model to uphold the constitution. Beauty of democracy lies in extending mutual respect to each other.’
