DPAP expels Haji Rashid

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 1: Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) today expelled former Jammu former MLA Haji Abdul Rashid from the primary membership of the party for alleged anti-party activities.
Rashid, who had won Assembly election in 2014 from Sopore constituency of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Congress ticket, was among the founding members of the DPAP which was formed by the former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad in September last year after ending his five-decade-long association with the grand old party.
“Azad, chairman of DPAP, ordered the expulsion of Haji Rashid from the primary membership of the party for anti-party activities,” DPAP general secretary RS Chib said in a statement here.
