Why elections being delayed in Jammu and Kashmir, asks Farooq Abdullah
Veteran politician and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah on Sunday wondered why there was a delay in holding Assembly elections in the Union Territory and said it was time to have an elected government. On the delay in conducting Assembly elections, Mr. Abdullah said as far as the government goes, it has been saying all the time that conditions are alright here. "Now if they are so sure of winning, what prevents them from testing the electoral waters," Mr. Abdullah said while making it clear that no one in this country is able to understand the reason behind the delay in holding Assembly elections. Asked whether the situation was conducive for holding the elections, Mr. Abdullah said, "Well, they say there is a lot of tourism, the situation is very good. Referring to the recent visit of Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's visit to Goa to attend a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, Mr. Abdullah said, "It is a very good move.
