| Rajnath disapproves J&K BJP chief’s comments on ex-Guv Vohra | | | Agencies
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday disapproved the remarks of the BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir chief criticising NN Vohra, saying the former governor had performed with distinction and maintained the dignity of the constitutional post.
In a statement, Singh said the governor’s post is constitutional and had its own dignity and it is expected from a governor that he or she performs impartially without fear and favour.
“NN Vohra was an outstanding officer. As a governor, he performed with distinction and maintained the constitutional dignity,” he said.
The home minister said people of Jammu and Kashmir appreciated the role of Vohra as a governor for 10 yearsSingh’s statement came after president of BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit Ravinder Raina was heard purportedly saying in a video that the party did not want to continue with Vohra and “our own man” had now been appointed as a new governor replacing Vohra.
Raina also allegedly said that Vohra used to tom-tom his own achievements.
The home minister said the new governor Satya Pal Malik had a long political career and he was appointed by President Ram Nath Kovind.
“I am sure people of Jammu and Kashmir will be benefited from his (Malik’s) long experience,” he said.
Malik was appointed governor of Jammu and Kashmir on August 21 replacing Vohra |
