J&K: At a convention, Mr. Ravish Kumar asked Engineering students to invent the fax machine that does not stop working after 7’o clock in the night. He said this in the presence of Mr. Satya Pal Malik, Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.
Justifying his decision to raise this issue in front of the chief guest, he said that this is what democracy is.

It may be mentioned that the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was dissolved on Wednesday night after three mainstream parties came together to stake claim to form a government that was countered by Peoples Conference leader Sajad Lone with the BJP’s backing.
Governor Satya Pal Malik made a terse announcement, saying he was exercising powers conferred on him by the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution and dissolving the House which had two more years to go.
The dissolution came shortly after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National Conference and the Congress came together and staked claim to form a government in a bid to checkmate moves by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form a government with the support of PDP rebels and Lone.
Taking a dig at the Raj Bhawan for not receiving her letter of support via fax, Mehbooba tweeted: “In today’s age of technology, it is very strange that the fax machine at Governor’s residence didn’t receive our fax but swiftly issued one regarding the Assembly dissolution.”
Omar Abdullah quipped: “J&K Raj Bhawan needs a new fax machine urgently.”
