JAMMU The governor Satya Pal Malik acted in an objective and impartial manner while dissolving the state assembly last week, J&K Raj Bhavan Spokesperson said on Tuesday.
There was no pressure or any kind of intervention from the Centre in the entire matter and some News Channels are misinterpreting Governors statement and putting them out of context to convey that there was pressure from the Central Government, the spokesperson said in a statement issued here.
Earlier, addressing a university convocation in Madhya Pradeshs Gwalior, a video of which did the rounds on social media on Tuesday, he said that had he looked towards Delhi for instructions, Sajad Lone would have formed the government. And I would have gone down in history as a dishonest man.
Reacting to Maliks remarks, National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah said that BJP and its proxies were desperate to form government by indulging in horse trading and use of money, but added in his tweet that weve never known a politically appointed governor going against the wishes of the Centre.
PDP president and former J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti termed the admission of governor as unprecedented.
Leaving aside the fax machine fiasco, good to see that governor Sb refused to take dictation from Delhi, rather opted for dissolution of assembly. This could be unprecedented, given the story of democracy in the state, she said.
