JAMMU, Jan 21: National Panthers Party activists today held protest demonstration, seeking dissolution of J&K Legislative Assembly at Exhibition Ground here today.
The NPP workers led by Harsh Dev Singh, NPP chairman and former minister, assembled at Exhibition Ground here and started protest demonstration. They were seeking dissolution of J&K Legislative Assembly and holding of fresh elections in the State. The protesters raised slogans against the BJP led Central Govt and torched its effigy. They were addressed by senior leaders of the Party.
Describing the present political situation in the State as ripe for dissolution of Assembly, Harsh Dev Singh said that PDP having shown its reluctance to form the Govt with no response to the communiqués from Governor House and the NC and Congress already having conveyed their stand in media, it was only BJP which appeared to be interested in Govt formation. He said that BJP having the support of only 28 MLAs was not in a position to form Govt on its own despite its desperation.
He said that with the stand of different political parties being evident, there seemed to be no possibility of Govt formation in the State. There was no reason therefore, to continue with the stalemate and called for a firm decision by the Governor in conformity with the Parliamentary precedents and in accordance with mandate of constitution. He said that Governor’s rule could not be continued only for the reason that the political parties were indecisive with regard to the formation of Govt.
Mr Singh alleged that the people of the State were feeling cheated as the powers to govern and administer which were the prerogatives of an elected regime, were assigned to bureaucrats despite peoples’ huge participation in the democratic process. He said that any alliance between BJP-PDP would only satisfy the urges of political parties for power but could do no good to common man. He flayed the Central Govt for putting pressures for keeping the Assembly alive despite constitutional breakdown.
