The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President and Member of the Parliament from Srinagar Dr. Farooq Abdullah on Saturday questioned the “double speak” of the Union Government on holding Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Center is saying the situation has normalized in Jammu and Kashmir. One of our local IGs (of Police) is saying that militancy has declined but is not over. Why this double talk? If the indices of security have improved then what is holding them back from holding elections? First it was security then it was weather. Now that the weather is clear and the security situation is admittedly better. What is it then? When we visited the Election Commission, we were told that the delimitation exercise, voter lists have been completed. All they are doing is manage new excuses every day to delay Assembly elections,” he said.
