Srinagar: J&K Raj Bhavan needs a new fax machine “urgently”, Omar Abdullah, the National Conference vice president and former Chief minister said on Wednesday.
“JKNC has been pressing for assembly dissolution for 5 months now. It can’t be a coincidence that within minutes of Mehbooba Mufti Sahiba letter staking claim the order to dissolve the assembly suddenly appears,” Omar wrote on twitter, minutes after Governor Satya Pal Malik dissolved state assembly on the day when PDP with the support of National Conference and Congress as well as Sajad Lone’s Peoples Conference with BJP’s support staked claims for the government formation.
“By virtue of powers vested upon me in terms of proclaimation No. P-1/18 of 2018 dated 20th June, 2018 issued under sub-section (1) of section 92 and in exercise of the powers conferred upon me by clause (b) of sub section (2) of section 53 of the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, I hereby dissolve the legislative assembly,” reads the order passed by the governor.
