Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh today accused "some elements" in the administration of hatching conspiracies to destabilise the PDP-BJP government and said action will be taken against the conspirators.
"A major attempt (with regard to state flag issue) was made to destabilise the government. But when we debated the issue within the government, and reaction we got from big people, I can say with confidence a big conspiracy was hatched against the government," Mr Singh told reporters.
While replying to a question, he said that there were conspiracies before this (flag issue) and in future "we expect such conspiracies."
"They had to play the role of informing the government, which is the highest body, (on vital issue), due to which this controversy has been created. Before this, such incidents have taken place. In future, we will see what corrective measures would be taken," Mr Singh said.
Asked if the government would punish those responsible, Mr Singh said, "Definitely, action would be taken. We have already said yesterday."
He further said that we have just entered into the government. "The way the mandate has been given by the people, and the government that has been formed, we get information from press and media about the conspiracies."
