Karan Singh bats for President's rule in Kashmir

July 11, 2017 14:06

Veteran Congress leader Karan Singh on Tuesday said that Jammu and Kashmir needs to be put under President's Rule as the BJP-PDP state government has not been able to combat terrorism in the region effectively.

Singh further asserted that the Amarnath Yatra must continue and every effort must be made to ensure that a terror attack like the one on Monday was not repeated.

"I see no step other than imposition of governor's rule in the prevailing situation, this is my individual opinion," said Singh.

"Yatra should continue, but such an attack should not take place again. I think governor's rule should be imposed in J&K," he added.

Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the government needs to introspect as to why despite advance intelligence inputs there was a failure to prevent this act.
