In J&K, Mehbooba Mufti led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seems to be in deep political crisis. After expulsion of eight leaders from the party by the high command on Thurseday, three other senior leaders announced their resignation from the party on next day. Those who have resigned from the party are former Rafiabad MLA Yawar Mir, Muntazir Mohiuddin and former president of the party's youth wing Showkat Gayoor. The three leaders confirmed that they have resigned from the party but did not specify their future plans.
Yawar is the son of Mohammad Dilawar Mir, who was among the eight leaders expelled by the PDP on Thursday. The expelled leaders have thrown their weight behind former PDP leader Syed Altaf Bukhari. Speculations are rife that Bukhari is launching a new political party with the help of disgruntled leaders in the PDP, Congress and other parties.
