The Jammu and Kashmir assembly was abruptly dissolved by the Governor Satya Pal Malik on Wednesday, 21 November night, hours after the PDP staked claim to form a government with the backing of rival National Conference and the Congress.

However, while PDP’s Mehbooha Mufti claimed that she had the support of the Congress, party leader and former J&K CM Ghulam Nabi Azad said that “no final decision” had been taken on the alliance.

Commenting on the political developments in Jammu and Kashmir, Azad told ANI:

“I said this afternoon also that it’s a suggestion and no final decision has been taken yet (on the PDP-NC-Congress alliance). BJP dissolved the Assembly even though only a proposal was made.”
