Jammu and Kashmir Completes 5-year Central Rule; Political Parties Raise Chorus for Early Polls

News 18  

Jammu and Kashmir on Monday completed five years without an elected government, prompting a scathing attack from the mainstream National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party over the delay in restoration of democracy in the Union Territory. On August 5, 2019, the Centre revoked Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and bifurcated the state into two Union territories — Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. In a sarcastic tweet, National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Monday said democracy in India ends where Jammu and Kashmir begins. Meanwhile, the chorus for holding assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir is growing with all political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, urging the Election Commission to announce the poll dates.
