The union cabinet recommended imposition of President's Rule in Uttarakhand on Sunday.

With this, the Uttarakhand assembly was kept in suspended animation after President Pranab Mukherjee signed a proclamation under Article 356, just a day before Chief Minister Harish Rawat was slated to face a floor test to prove the Congress government's majority.

Congress leaders and Rawat have called the decision a "murder of democracy".
