J&K headed for Prez rule but assembly not to be dissolved for now: Malik

JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir is headed for President’s rule but the State Assembly will not be dissolved for now, Governor Satyapal Malik said Friday.

His statement comes amid speculation that efforts are being made behind the scenes to cobble together a coalition Government by various parties to succeed the PDP-BJP dispensation that collapsed in June when the BJP withdrew support to the Mehbooba Mufti-led PDP.

However, the numbers for a Government formation don’t seem to add up for now.

Malik himself is convinced that a popular Government will not be possible. “I still do not see any Government formation. No party has numbers so far and there is a clear message that nothing illegal will be allowed,” he said. (AGENCIES)
