National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah Friday questioned in the Lok Sabha the Jammu and Kashmir Governor's decision to dissolve the state assembly.

Voicing concern over the situation in the Kashmir Valley, he also advocated talks with Pakistan for restoration of peace.

The former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister made these remarks while participating in the debate on the statutory resolution for proclamation of President's Rule in Jammu and Kashmir.

Referring to the proposed NC-PDP-Cong alliance to form government in the state, he said, "The fax machine of the J&K governor was not working, his phone was not working and I would like to say that Governor's House is not the place to prove majority but the assembly is. Governor didn't wait and dissolved it."
