There cannot be statements like who are you or how does the Center choose you? No matter how inappropriate the CM’s tweet is, the assembly session cannot be delayed.

The Supreme Court also said that if the governor asks for any information, the government is bound to give it. Letters sent by CM Bhagwant Mann and Governor BL Purohit to each other were also read out in the Supreme Court.

The Governor had said – Chief Minister’s tweet is derogatory
The Punjab government had sent a letter to Governor Banwarilal Purohit to convene the budget session in the month of March, but the Governor in his reply refused to approve the budget session saying that the Chief Minister tweeted in response to his letter.
