GUWAHATI, Jan 9 - Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today hailed President Pranab Mukherjee�s directive to the Governors to perform their duties within the framework of the Constitution, saying the directive has come in the backdrop of controversies involving some Governors.

In a statement, he said the directive to the Governors to respect the distinct authority and responsibility vested in each of the three organs of the State and to perform their duties within the Constitutional framework, has come following the overstepping of Constitutional limits by some Governors.

�The manner in which some Governors are mired in controversies for acting as agents of the RSS than Constitutional heads of their respective states, has brought disgrace to the high Constitutional posts,� he added.
