Srinagar, Apr 15 (IBNS): Demanding Governor Rule in Jammu and Kashmir, former union minister and president of National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Saturday said people of valley clearly rejected People’s Democratic Party Rule.

After he won the Srinagar by-poll by a margin of over 10,000 votes Farooq Abdullah appealed to the President Pranab Mukherjee to impose Governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir.

He thanked the people who voted for me and National Conference and it shows people have rejected People’s Democratic Party,” Farooq told reporters at NC headquarter Nawa-e-Subh here in Srinagar.

He also appealed president of India to dismiss the state government as it has “failed to deliver”.

“I will secure the Article 370 and my win is dedicated to people of Kashmir. I will also talk to all stakeholders to find a solution for the Kashmir issue,” he added.
