Decision to dissolve JK assembly ‘unconstitutional’, murder of democracy: Congress

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Thursday accused the Modi Government of pushing Jammu and Kashmir into a cycle of violence, “bereft of democratic institutions”, and slammed the decision of the Governor to dissolve the State assembly as “unconstitutional and unethical”.

The opposition party also demanded early elections in the State to set in motion the democratic process so that the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh regions get a people’s Government.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram took a swipe at Governor Satyapal Malik over the decision to dissolve the J-K Assembly, saying that parliamentary democracy was standing on its head and the “Gujarat model” has appealed to him more than the “Westminster model” that India follows. (AGENCIES)
