Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader resigns

Srinagar: Two days after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) expelled eight of its leaders after they met Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor, a former MLC Javed Mirchal resigned from the party on Saturday in protest against the expulsions.

Mirchal in a statement issued here said that he has resigned in protest against the way his colleagues were expelled by the PDP leadership, especially Raja Manzoor Ahmad, former MLA Karnah, who had met the Lieutenant Governor to put forth some of the important public demands in the present political circumstances.

Mirchal resigned from the primary membership of the party and said the PDP has failed to live up to the expectations of people and has betrayed the public mandate brazenly. (IANS)
