Jammu: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah on Thursday hit out at Governor Satya Pal Malik over the latter’s sudden decision to dissolve the state Assembly on Wednesday. Speaking to mediapersons, the National Conference veteran said that he had hopes from the Governor, but he “turned out to be another slave of the Centre”.

Terming the development in Jammu and Kashmir as “sad”, the former chief minister demanded that the post of Governor should be looked into.

“I had a lot of hopes from this Governor, but this is very sad. He has turned out to be another slave of the Centre. The post of Governor needs to be looked into. Why did he wait 5 months to dissolve Assembly?” said Farooq Abdullah.
