Jammu and Kashmir government should revoke the disturbed areas act (DAA) to facilitate a complete revival of civil and democratic institutions in the state as in other parts of the country, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has said.

"The state government must withdraw the Disturbed Areas Act (DAA) to facilitate a complete revival of civil and democratic institutions in the state as in other parts of the country," Mehbooba, who called on Governor N N Vohra to wish him on Diwali eve and later met him, said.

She also expressed her party's concern over alleged corruption and "collapse of governance" in the state.

"These events have seriously dented people's faith in governance and institutional accountability as the government had brazenly covered up an incident that in any other part of the country would have evoked a completely different response from state," Mehbooba said.

She said chief minister Omar Abdullah's "unending fight for survival" had led him from one blunder to another and he had to "compromise" his way to stay in power.

"Ministers and officials were groping in the dark for want of a political direction and, with zero accountability, the unscrupulous among them amassed wealth by whatever means they could," she alleged.

Mehbooba accused the NC-led coalition of subverting the legislature by arranging cross-voting of BJP MLAs for a legislative council seat.
