Ending BJP-PDP alliance and imposing Governor's Rule in Jammu and Kashmir won't bring normalcy, says Asaduddin Owaisi

There will not be normalcy after Governor’s rule is imposed in Jammu and Kashmir. Hyderabad: The Bhartiya Janta Party’s decision to pull out of the Peoples Democratic Party led Jammu and Kashmir government and the expected imposition of Governor’s rule won’t bring normalcy in the state, Asaduddin Owaisi, chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen said on Tuesday. He said he had no sympathies for Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, who resigned after the BJP’s announcement, and he saw no political future for her and the PDP in the Kashmir Valley. Arguing that the BJP could not run away from the responsibility as it was sharing power and had a Deputy Chief Minister and ministers, he said BJP was more responsible than PDP for the situation in the state as it failed to deliver, failed to provide governance, stop terror attacks on Army camps and check cross-border terrorism. Recalling that both BJP and PDP had termed formation of the coalition government a meeting of North and South Poles, he said, “The people of the country want to know what happened to the so-called meeting.” Claiming that the ceasefire had resulted in the beginning of political activity on the ground, Owaisi said the BJP owes an explanation to the nation why it announced a ceasefire in a hurry and why it did not extend it.
