Srinagar: Former chief minister and PDP patron Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said it was very strange that the fax machine at Governor’s residence didn’t receive “our fax but swiftly issued one regarding the assembly dissolution.”
“In my twenty six year old career as a politician, I thought I had seen it all! But like they say never say never! Nevertheless, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to @OmarAbdullah and @Ambikasoni4 ji for helping us achieve the seemingly impossible,” Mehbooba wrote on twitter. .
“Since the past five months, regardless of political affiliations, we shared the view that the state assembly be dissolved immediately to avert horse trading & defections.
Oddly enough our pleas fell on deaf ears. But who would have thought that the very idea of a grand coalition would give such jitters,” he said, adding, “In todays age of technology, it is very strange that the fax machine at HE Governor’s residence didn’t receive our fax but swiftly issued one regarding the assembly dissolution.”
