Chennai: Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram said the Supreme Court's judgement asking Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit to decide on granting assent to bills passed by the state assembly is to be seen as "a stern rebuke to not only him but to all governors", while calling on Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi to read every line of the ruling.
The senior Congress leader's remarks are in reaction to the Tamil Nadu Governor Ravi's returning of 10 Bills passed by the State Assembly and the Legislative Assembly met Saturday for a special sitting and re-adopted all of them.
Chief Minister M K Stalin, who spoke on the government business in the House, slammed the governor for withholding the Bills according to his "whims and fancies."
