Sadar-i-Riyasat's letter to Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad

Legal Document No 134

My Dear Bakshi Sahib,

I have just dissolved the cabinet which functioned till today and have relieved it of the powers and functions of civil administration of the State. I, however, feel that a new Cabinet should be constituted immediately so as to avoid a political and administrative vacuum.

In the task of forming a new Ministry, I have decided told seek your aid and advice. Will you, therefore, make it convenient to meet me immediately so that we might discuss the formation and composition of the new Cabinet?

I need hardly and that the continuance in office of the new Cabinet will depend upon its securing a vote of confidence from the Legislative Assembly during its coming session.

Yours sincerely,
(Sd/-) Karan Singh.
