New Delhi: With the sacking of Aziz Qureshi, the tiny northeastern state of Mizoram is turning out to be a waterloo for Governors after the Narendra Modi government assumed office with six of them exiting in just nine months. The 74-year-old Qureshi, who has dragged the Centre to Supreme Court over the issue of removal of Governors, was today sacked by President Pranab Mukherjee.
Qureshi had taken over as the Governor of Mizoram on January nine after being transferred from Uttarakhand and had tenure up to May 2017. The jinx with the gubernatorial post in Mizoram began in July last year when V Purushottam, who was transferred to neighbouring Nagaland by the Modi government, quit saying that he had not been consulted.
