NC expels four SMC corporators for indiscipline, spokesperson 6/16/2020 11:54:11 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, June 16: Expelling four corporators from basic membership of the party for voting in the No Confidence Motion (NCM) against Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) Mayor Junaid Azim Muttu, the National Conference (NC) on Tuesday denied allegation about the party’s ‘facilitatory role’ in the entire motion. Mr Muttu has alleged that he lost after NC and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) came together. The NC on Tuesday expelled four SMC corporators from basic membership of the party following their refusal to comply with the party instructions and subsequently voting in the no confidence motion against SMC Mayor, party spokesman Imran Nabi Dar said this evening. He said the party had earlier announced and asked its corporators to abstain from participating in NCM in SMC and not be part of any BJP sponsored political move. However, he said, inspite of the clear directions, four out of party 11 corporators decided to be part of BJP initiated NCM against SMC Mayor. ‘’Hence taking note of their incompliance, the party leadership expelled them from the basic membership of party,” said Dar said. The four corporators who were expelled include GN Sofi, Danish Bhat, Neloofar, and Majid Shulloo. They along with seven other SMC Corporators had joined NC in May 2019 while the Urban Local Body (UBL) elections were held way before in 2018. He said as such they were not bound by any party whip but were expected to toe the party line which was to abstain from the voting. ‘’Amounting to indiscipline and willful disobedience, the four corporators stand expelled as per directions from the party high command,” the party spokesperson added. Dismissing the allegations about the party’s ‘facilitatory role’ in the entire motion, he said, ‘’Such allegations are unfounded and childish. Majority of corporators who joined our party in 2019 did abide by the party line and those who didn’t have been expelled as part of our disciplinary protocol.’’   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
