Uttarakhand crisis: Rebel Congress leader Vijay Bahuguna says HC's decision not right

Expressing disappointment over the Uttarakhand High Court's decision to quash President's Rule, former chief minister and rebel Congress leader Vijay Bahuguna on Thursday urged the Centre to move the Supreme Court in this regard.

"The court's verdict that has come out today is not right. The President's order was sound, legal and constitutional," Bahuguna told ANI.

"I would urge the Centre to move to the Supreme Court and let the apex court review this order. The verdict of the highest court in the country would be acceptable to all," he said.

The Uttarakhand High Court earlier today quashed the President's Rule in the state and ordered floor test in the assembly on April 29. The High Court earlier said that it was "pained" by the Centre's actions in the case on imposition of President's Rule in Uttarakhand where the Centre was acting like a "private party".
