Unconstitutional role played by the President
I am not entirely sure if this section is POV or just needs a rewrite. It seems to assume prior knowledge by saying that something doesn't exist, without saying why it would be assumed to exist. Did the President make a claim that it does exist? Start with what happened before saying what was wrong. The rest follows along similar lines, and at least appears to be POV and/or OR. —PC-XT+ 23:51, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I have removed the section accusing the president of unconstitutional acts for now given the POV/OR (and potentially BLP) concerns. To be clear: The issue of presidents rule can be meaningfully discussed using sources such as this one in the article. But we cannot present unattributed and OR analysis along the lines of:
 * "It is reimposed again unconstitutionally..."
 * "President could have summoned..."
 * " Instead of averting constitutional crisis as defender and protector of the constitution, the president wilfully brought constitutional crisis ..."
 * Given the magnitude of issues with the section, I don't think tagging it with templates will suffice. So I am removing it till someone can work on a neutral sourced section on the topic that makes it clear how the issue is linked to the APRA, 2014. .Abecedare (talk) 16:13, 26 October 2014 (UTC)


 * "It is reimposed again unconstitutionally..." Reply: According to constitutional expert Subhash Kashyap of this one
 * "President could have summoned..." Reply: Rajya sabha or Lok Sabha MPs busy in electioneering can not be valid reason for not calling it to sit & conduct the constitutional obligation. It is the duty of president to see that all the organs of government to follow the constitution (Article 60)
 * " Instead of averting constitutional crisis as defender and protector of the constitution, the president wilfully brought constitutional crisis ..." Reply: From the answers to above two points, learned President with all types of advisers has not followed the constitution being its defender & protector is fact & there is no question of any bodies POV or OR.

 * I suggest that you read wikipedi'a policies on WP:POV and WP:NOR, rewrite the section to take care of the above-mentioned problems here on the talk page and gain consensus for its inclusion. Continuing to edit-war over it, will just get you blocked, which won't help you or the article. Abecedare (talk) 18:16, 26 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I was on wikibreak and never got the above notification. I just found this again, while going through my watchlist. Abecedare gave good advice. The section should be fixed before being re-added. —PC-XT+ 23:55, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Tag & Assess review

 * The article has previously had a "start-class" rating. I am retaining the rating even though there is enough content to be rated as "C-class" because it requires considerable clean-up.  At the moment, it is quite confusing, and has excessive detail about the parliament proceedings which fall under WP:NOTNEWS. I suggest that the article be submitted for revaluation after cleanup is completed. Kautilya3 (talk) 15:06, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Lexicographical approach

 * The article is full of technical details and even exact timestamps, though doesn't explain why the bill was necessary and what the reasoning behind it is. Before getting into numerous details of "shouting slogans" only relevant for a temporary period of time, giving more background should be part of the narrative at the beginning. 193.202.20.11 (talk) 10:03, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
