Governor administration can never be substitute for elected government: Saifuddin Soz
Srinagar, Mar 2 (UNI) Alleging that Governor Administration has been providing negative inputs which have further angered the people in Jammu and Kashmir, senior Congress leader Saifuddin Soz on Saturday said governor rule can under no circumstances can be substitute for an elected government.
“The latest decision by the Governor to implement Central Government decision on 77th Constitutional Amendment, to the State, constitutes a ‘tress-pass, the former union minister said.
This measure needs popular support and should have been left to an elected Government., even though; it offers benefits to a section of society in the state.
“Governor has to realise that the Governor rule can, under no circumstances, be considered to be a substitute for an elected Government. So, it would be in Governor’s own short-run administrative interests to avoid decisions that carry constitutional implications”, he said
He said the other area where the Governor’s Administration is at fault is that it doesn’t often measure the implications of implementing Central Governments decisions in a rush.
'For instance, the blanket ban on Jammu and Kashmir Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI)for five years is uncalled for. The reasons given by the Central Government for banning J&K JeI are not plausible, at all,' he said, adding that the people in Kashmir feel that banning JeI will cause further unrest on ground and worsen the situation.
