Defends the recommendation of Governor’s rule by Malik.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh told the Lok Sabha on Friday that the government was prepared for election in Jammu and Kashmir anytime.
If the Election Commission decides to hold the election, the Home Ministry would offer requisite security for the conduct of free and fair poll, he assured the members. He was replying to a discussion on a statutory motion on the proclamation issued by the President in December, 2018, under Article 356 of the Constitution in relation to the State. The discussion took place after the statutory motion was passed.
Tharoor’s charge
Earlier, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor faulted Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik for recommending Governor’s rule instead of a floor test.
