New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati today demanded President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the state government had failed to handle the situation in Kishtwar after clashes in Kishtwar district last Friday.
"Law and order has failed in Jammu and Kashmir and the state government has failed to control the situation. I demand that the state government be dismissed and President's rule be imposed," Ms Mayawati said, while speaking in the Rajya Sabha today.
Ms Mayawati said she had no trust in the judicial probe ordered by the state government, and demanded a high-level inquiry under the central government.
"The central government should interfere, and a report should be lodged against home minister Kichloo (Jammu and Kashmir Minister of State for Home Sajjad Ahmad Kichloo), who was in Kishtwar at the time of the clashes and failed to control the situation," she said.
Violence in Kishtwar amid Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations claimed three lives and injured several others.
