Dismiss government and impose governor's rule: Panthers Party

Srinagar, Jun 29 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (NPP) president Prof Bhim Singh today demanded dismissal of the Congress-led coalition government and imposition of Governor's rule in the state.

In a statement here, Prof Singh urged Governor N N Vohra to dismiss the government which is now in minority after the withdrawal of support by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Invoke section 92 of the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir because of the breakdown of constitutional machinery and law and order in the state and dismiss the government in the interest of security of the state and sovereignty of India'', Prof Singh said.

He said in an urgent communication to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he has urged him to advise the governor to act swiftly to save the state from further death and destruction.

Prof Singh said he also met the Governor and submitted a memorandum against the coalition government in which he had accused Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad of double standards and of playing in the hands of Mufti and Dr Abdullah to sabotage the Amarnath yatra to please the fundamentalists.''
