RAMBAN, May 4: Senior NC leader and MLA Banihal, Sajjad Shaheen here today conducted a daylong tour of Mahakund area in Gool and held a series of Halqa-level workers’ meetings to strengthen party’s outreach at grassroots level.
During these meetings, PDP block president Mahakund, Mohd Ashraf Hajam and Choudhary Liaqat Ali, block secretary youth wing PDP joined NC along with their supporters.
Addressing the gatherings, Shaheen said that PDP sought votes in the name of keeping the BJP out of power but later on compromised its mandate by forming a Government with BJP.
The MLA further remarked that it was PDP’s actions which facilitated decisions leading to the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35-A, which resulted in the downgrading of the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir into a Union Territory.
During tour, the NC leader was accompanied by former DDC Chairperson, Shamshada Shan and other senior party functionaries.
