Jammu and Kashmir governor NN Vohra has cancelled an all-party meeting scheduled for this evening in Srinagar to discuss the situation in the wake of the implementation of governor’s rule in the state. No reason was immediately given for the cancellation.
Jammu and Kashmir was placed under governor’s rule on Wednesday, a day after the PDP-BJP government collapsed as the BJP snapped its three-year-old alliance with the regional party citing “larger national interest” and “deteriorating security situation”.
The governor also placed the legislative assembly in suspended animation till the proclamation of governor’s rule is revoked or varied by a subsequent proclamation, according to a gazette notification. The six-year term of the current assembly ends in March 2021.
