“I would not like to comment on the matter, but the National Conference is visibly divided today. “Today, one of their own MPs has come out and is holding a programme… “Let me reiterate that we have no involvement in the internal affairs of the National Conference. Whatever statements our MLAs make are a separate matter. That is their internal affair. The crisis has deepened further with differences brewing within the party’s own legislature. They have sought removal of all incumbent ministers and of the Chief Minister’s key advisors Nasir Aslam Wani and Shammi Oberoi. The discontent erupted after the recent cabinet expansion and reshuffle by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, which left several senior legislators including Mubarak Gul, Majid Larmi and Nazir Gurezi feeling sidelined.
Srinagar MP Ruhullah on Tuesday announced his resignation from the National Conference and his Lok Sabha seat at a rally in Budgam marking the 26th death anniversary of his father, Aga Syed Mehdi, who was assassinated in 2000. Ruhullah is holding the rally today with the blessings of our people,” Madhav, who played a key role in the formation of the PDP-BJP government in J&K in 2015-2016, told reporters. Around 20 to 25 NC MLAs have reportedly submitted a memorandum to party president Dr Farooq Abdullah, demanding a complete overhaul of the cabinet and the party organisation.
This is entirely an internal matter of the NC, and its leaders are fighting among themselves,” he said. What do we have to do with it?” he said.
