Following the imposition of President's rule in Arunachal Pradesh, Former Delhi Police Commissioner Y S Dadwal and retired IAS officer G S Patnaik have been appointed as advisors to the state Governor Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa.

Dadwal is a 1974-batch IPS officer who retired in 2011 from paramilitary SSB and Patnaik is a 1980-batch IAS officer who retired after serving in the Delhi government in various capacities.Meanwhile, the Congress who branded the President's rule in Arunachal Pradesh as a 'murder of democracy' will challenge the Centre's decision in Supreme Court today.

"Bharatiya Janata Party wants its government everywhere. You can't impose President's rule because people didn't favor you. We will fight in the court and also tell the people how the BJP misuses its power. It is very unfortunate and it is a murder of democracy," Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge told ANI.
