The Indian Occupied Kashmir plunged into a political crisis in June 2018 after the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Mehbooba Mufti-led coalition government was reduced to a minority following withdrawal of support by the 25-member Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the State.
Eventually, a six-month Governor’s Rule was imposed in the State, vesting all legislative powers with Governor Narinder Nath Vohra and then Governor Satya Pal Malik following the retirement of his predecessor.
