Jammu and Kashmir assembly dissolved on orders from PM Modi, his office: Congress

ABP News  

JAIPUR: The Congress on Thursday condemned the dissolution of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly with its national spokesperson Manish Tiwari alleging that Governor Satya Pal Malik acted on the directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his office. Satya Pal Malik passed an order dissolving the state assembly on Wednesday night, hours after the Peoples Democratic Party staked claim to form a government with the backing of rival National Conference and the Congress. But when its conspiracy failed to yield any result, it got the Governor to dissolve the Assembly just after the PDP, National Conference and the Congress staked claim to form the government," Tewari said. Earlier in the day former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram also targeted Malik saying parliamentary democracy was "outdated" for the BJP-appointed Governor.
