Taking to Twitter, Dhankhar said, "Guv emphasised that no information whatsoever can be screened from him by govt & such conduct will be constitutional transgression that shall not be overlooked."

Rejecting the stance of the Mamata Banerjee Government, Dhankhar said, ''There can be no question of the office of Hon'ble Governor seeking access to documents & files on a subject matter which is entirely within the domain of state executive & in respect of which the Governor has no authority or jurisdiction.
