Puducherry, April 17: AIADMK today demanded that the President recall Puducherry Lt Governor Iqbal Singh, saying he had been facing “several controversies” ever since he assumed office in 2009 including the one relating to procurement of passport to Pune stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan.
“The post of Lt Governor is a sacrosanct position in the Constitution. Any slur caused by its incumbent would be totally objectionable,” AIADMK secretary of the Puducherry unit, A Anbalagan, told reporters urging President Pratibha Patil to recall Singh in the next two days “to save the constitutional sanctity” of the gubernatorial post.
