New Delhi, Jan 28: Arunachal Pradesh Governor JP Rajkhowa not only recommended President's rule in the state in his report but also made a shocking revelation.

Rajkhowa in the same report claimed that a minister tried to assault him.

According to a IBNLive report, "The Governor is likely to file the report about the assault in a sealed envelope in Supreme Court. Rajkhowa has regularly been sending reports to the government on the deteriorating law and order situation in the state."

Reportedly, on December 14, when the council of ministers went to meet the Governor, one of Chief Minister Nabam Tuki's ministers tried to assault the AP Governor.

The Union Cabinet on Sunday recommended imposition of President's Rule in Congress-ruled Arunachal Pradesh, which is rocked by political turmoil, in a move that could have major political ramifications.

The decision drew stinging condemnation from the opposition with Congress alleging democracy was being trampled and that Modi was "fountainhead" of political intolerance while a shocked Chief Minister Nabam Tuki said such a decision in a sensitive border state was "unprecedented" and "unacceptable"
