The Centre on Sunday has issued a notification, informing that President’s rule has been revoked in Jammu and Kashmir earlier than the appointment of the Chief Minister.
In an order, issued the President of India Droupadi Murmu, stated, “In train of the powers conferred by part 73 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 (34 of 2019) learn with articles 239 and 239A of the Structure of India, the Order dated the thirty first October, 2019 in relation to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir shall stand revoked instantly earlier than the appointment of the Chief Minister below part 54 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.”
In 2018, then President Ram Nath Kovind imposed President’s rule within the state after it had accomplished six months below Governor’s rule. Kovind signed the proclamation for imposition of Central rule within the state, which plunged right into a political disaster in June after the Mehbooba Mufti-led coalition authorities collapsed.
After 1996, it was the primary time when the Central rule had been imposed within the militancy-hit state. Based on the gazette notification, the President had obtained a report from Governor Satya Pal Malik and after contemplating it, he was “glad” that President’s rule was required.
