J&K assembly dissolution 'murder of democracy': Sharad Yadav

India TV News  

The dissolution of Jammu and Kashmir assembly was a "murder of democracy", said veteran politician Sharad Yadav on Thursday. He said the governor's action was evidently biased when an alliance of the major parties had staked claim to form the government. Hours after the Peoples Democratic Party staked claim to form a government with backing of the rival National Conference and the Congress, J&K Governor Satya Pal Malik abruptly dissolved the state assembly on Wednesday night. Since June 19 after the BJP withdrew from the Mehbooba Mufti-led coalition government, the state assembly had been put in suspended animation.
