The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) staged a protest here today, demanding immediate dissolution of the Assembly.
The Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was put under suspended animation after Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti resigned following BJP's withdrawal of support to the PDP-led alliance government last month.
Led by JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh, scores of activists and leaders staged a protest at the Exhibition Ground in Jammu.
The party accused the central government of indulging in proxy rule through the Governor, and sought immediate dissolution of the Assembly to allow conduct of fresh election.
Addressing the media, Singh said there were reports that the BJP was wooing rival party legislators to encourage defections by unethical practices.
Alleging that the prolonged suspension of the Assembly was illegal and defied all constitutional precedents, Singh said that so far no political party or a plausible alliance had staked claim to form the government.
"In such a situation, the dissolution of Assembly was inevitable and required immediate attention of the Governor and the President of India," he added.
