Mehbooba Mufti accuses National Conference of ‘breaking’ PAGD

Former J&K Chief Minister and President of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mehbooba Mufti, on Friday accused the National Conference of breaking the People’s Alliance For Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) by announcing the fielding of three candidates for the upcoming parliamentary elections without consulting the PDP.

In response to Omar Abdullah’s statement questioning PDP’s right to



seats since the party ranks third, Mufti criticised the National Conference’s decision, stating that they wanted the PAGD to continue, but “Omar Abdullah has declared that it is not a part of the alliance”.

Mufti expressed disappointment at the ‘unilateral’ decision taken by the National Conference, emphasising that she was not informed about NC’s decision to field three candidates.
