Srinagar, July 8 : Political parties in Jammu and Kashmir don''t want the state elections to be advanced despite the early exit of the Congress government from office after the People''s Democratic Party (PDP) withdrew support to it over a controversial land transfer to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB).
"The government had to resign, but I am hopeful about the present governor (N. N. Vohra), who was part of the peace process in Jammu and Kashmir. After taking office, he said that the Government of Jammu and Kashmir should handle the Amarnath Yatra. He also revoked the land order. He will do his best to see the situation remains peaceful till elections take place in the state, that is towards the end of October," said Mehbooba Mufti, PDP President.
