The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 30 Jun 2019There are reasons why President’s rule in Jammu & Kashmir, in place since December 20, 2018 — after six months of Governor’s rule since June 20 — is being sought to be extended by another six months from July 3. Whether the reasons are compelling enough is what’s being debated in Parliament. The argument used by home minister Amit Shah to move his statutory resolution is not as anti-democratic as the Opposition benches make it out to be: since the Election Commission (EC) has reportedly decided to hold assembly elections in J&K after the sensitive weeks of Amarnath Yatra — July 1-August 15 — it’s essential that President’s rule be extended by another half-year.
