Jammu, Oct 26: Two-day after a report in the Early Times, three prominent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders from Jammu province resigned from the party against the irresponsible statement of Mehbooba Mufti.

Advisors of Mehbooba Mufti bluntly told Jammu based leaders that the party would adopt a more aggressive posture in the coming days. In their letter, the trio reminded Mehbooba Mufti that PDP was formed to provide an viable and credible alternative to National Conference in Kashmir Valley but the incumbent leadership of the party has meekly surrendered before its arch rival and accept to play as second fiddle in the so-called “Peoples’ Alliance for Gupkar Declaration”. |
