  • Four days after Ghulam Nabi Azad resigned as chief minister before facing the vote of confidence on the floor of the state assembly, Jammu and Kashmir was brought under Governor’s rule and the state assembly dissolved on July 91. The term of the current assembly thus ended about four months before its tenure.

    Former J&K Governor Lt. Gen. S.K. Sinha, in an interaction with reporters in New Delhi on July 7, charged the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of being a pawn in the hands of fundamentalist forces and terrorists backed by Pakistan. Sinha stated that the PDP was using the issue of forest land allotment to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) as a tool to further its interest. He added that “…Kashmiriat was the right tool to take on fundamentalist forces2."
