Article 174 violated in Manipur; it’s contempt of Constitution: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh

The Hindu  

The Congress on Thursday said Article 174, which stipulates that there cannot be more than a six month gap between two Assembly sessions, has been "violated" in Manipur and alleged that this is a "deliberate contempt of the Constitution." Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the breakdown of constitutional machinery in Manipur and the agony of the people of the State continues as they still await a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi "who goes everywhere but Manipur." "Article 174 of the Constitution of India states: 'The Governor shall from time to time summon the House or each House of the Legislature of the State to meet at such time and place as he thinks fit, but six months shall not intervene between its last sitting in one session and the date appointed for its first sitting in the next session'," Mr. Ramesh said on X. The Congress had termed Mr. Singh's resignation from the post of Manipur Chief Minister as "belated" and said people of the State were now awaiting a visit by "our frequent-flier Prime Minister."
