SRINAGAR: The Congress on Saturday appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to not bypass the elected government in Jammu and Kashmir and take it on board for any initiative or action in the Union Territory.
The appeal comes amid a row over the powers of the elected dispensation and the Raj Bhavan.
“We request him (Shah) that a popular government is in place. The government has secured a massive mandate which is a matter of pride for democracy and the country. We request him that nothing should be done by bypassing the state government even if it is advisory in nature,” Congress chief whip in the assembly, Nizamuddin Bhat, told reporters here.
