| PDP MAY RECALL MUZAFFAR HUSSAIN BAIG FROM THE AZAD CABINET | | |
Srinagar, August 31: PDP leadership is quite annoyed with Chief Minister GhulamNabi Azad for using his discretion for retaining the portfolios allocated to Muzaffar Hussain Baig in November 2005.
Before Chief Minister could undertake the exercise of allocating the portfolios to his newly inducted council of ministers the PDP leadership had recommended to the Chief Minister that Muzaffar Hussain Baig should be divested of his portfolios of Law, Parliamentary affairs and Finance.
In the allocation of the portfolios announced by the Chief Minister late in the evening it indicated that Chief Minister used his discretionary powers for not accepting the request of the PDP leaders.
In this regard, the PDP leadership convened a meeting of senior party leaders in Srinagr on Thursday evening and according to party sources the PDP leadership was toying with the idea of recalling Mr Muzaffar Hussain Baig from the cabinet.Sources said PDP patron Mufti Mohd Sayeed and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti were closetted with senior party leaders through out the day watching days developments.
Observers in the state said that war of conflict between the congress and the PDP has hotted up and if Mr Azad refuses to accept the PDP’s offer of recall of Mr Baig the PDP may explore the possibility of withdrawing its support to the Coalition government.
Observers said, it depends upon the consensus of the PDP leaders .
It may be recalled that Muzaffar Hussain Baig’s closeness with Chief Minister GhulamNabi Azad has rasied many eyebrows in the PDP circles after he repeatedly showered praises on him and almost stopped foloowing party agenda.
Significantly, during the same time PDP President Mehbooba Mufti was trying to put Congress Chief Minister on the mat for failing to control human rights violation and continued escalation in level of militant violence after the change of guard. |
