Even as Twitter erupted post the SC verdict on Arunachal Pradesh, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi thanked the highest court of the land for quashing the President's rule and restoring the Nabam Tuki government in the state.
Thank you Supreme Court for explaining to the Prime Minister what democracy is. #ArunachalPradesh— Office of RG (@OfficeOfRG) July 13, 2016
In a major setback to the Centre, the Supreme Court five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice JS Khehar on Wednesday quashed the imposition of President's Rule in Arunachal Pradesh and ordered restoration of the Congress government in the state.
This is the second major rebuff for the Centre after the SC reinstated the Uttarakhand government.
Here is what the major players and the opposition said about the verdict:
