, who has been criticised by Supreme Court for his actions as Arunachal Pradesh Governor that led to a political crisis in the state, is currently recuperating after a major surgery. Rajkhowa, 72, who went on leave from June 27, underwent the surgery at a private hospital in Coimbatore and is now in Guwahati.

The Congress government resisted holding the session on the Assembly premises. The session, held in a community hall on the first day and a hotel the next day, was attended by 18 rebel Congress MLAs, 11 BJP and two Independent MLAs, who dismissed Rebia and “elected” Kalikho Pul by “voting out” Nabam Tuki. On December 16, when the political crisis was at its peak, Rajkhowa had said he took every decision as per the Constitution.
