Only Gujarat model, not parliamentary democracy appeals to BJP-appointed Governor Satya Pal Malik, says P Chidambaram

Firstpost  

New Delhi: Taking umbrage to the sudden dissolution of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, former Union Minister and Congress veteran P Chidambaram on Thursday claimed that for BJP-appointed Governor Satya Pal Malik, parliamentary democracy was “outdated”. A day after Malik’s dramatic move dissolving the House shortly after the Peoples Democratic Party, National Conference and the Congress came together to stake claim to form a government, Chidambaram took to Twitter to express his outrage. “Parliamentary democracy standing on its head,” said the former Union Finance Minister. Like in all other matters, it is the Gujarat model that has appealed to the Jammu and Kashmir Governor,” said Chidambaram.
