Resignation Chief Minister Gulam Nabi Azad had to resign after PDP pulled the rug from under his feet. It was the land row issue for which Azad had to pay the price. State government had order the transfer of forest land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board where it had planned to make arrangements for the Amarnath pilgrims. But people of Kashmir took to streets against the State government’s orders. After nine days’ relentless mass protests and violence the state government had to revoke its order. During these nine days everything got changed in Kashmir. PDP, which was the coalition’s partner, parted ways with the Congress reducing the state government to minority.

Politics During these two weeks every J&K political party was busy playing political games to increase their support. PDP though was the part of the government that has taken the decision of transfer of land, instead of defusing the situation added more fuel to the fire by using it as an election plank for the upcoming elections. Even NC changed their stand on the seeing the intensity of the public anger.

PDP People fought pitched battles with the police and the security forces in the streets in witch some people died and got injured. Politicians exploited the public sentiments to maximize their political gains. Every political party fueled the agitations aiming the coming assembly elections. During whole of the controversy PDP’s stand was solely guided by its hunger for power. It lost on both grounds. First public held them responsible for whole of the crisis and on the other hand they had to loose the power.

Anti-National Except Congress the conduct of all the state political parties was anti-India. They only helped the separatists by turning a non issue into an issue. All this forced the Chief Minister to resign. He paid the price for the act for which he was not solely responsible and J&K has been placed once again under Governor’s rule. Azad had stunned everyone on Monday when he resigned without facing the confidence vote after PDP’s withdrawal of support to his government. No party was willing or in a position to form a government, following which governor’s rule has been imposed in the state.
