Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jan 4: A senior Peoples Democratic Party leader from north Kashmir has been in race with an ousted PDP leader for the past over a month since the two groups had met in the national capital cordially but ended up having “strained relations.”
Sources said the senior PDP leader, who is also a prominent lawyer, and the ousted PDP leader had met at a party in the New Delhi in the last week on November 2019 in presence of leaders from some national parties.
Sources said at the meeting it was resolved that the senior PDP leader who holds influence in Baramulla district should be seen as the “most mature face, capable of holding any key position in Jammu and Kashmir in the coming times.”
Sources said the development had unnerved the ousted PDP leader who is also a businessman-turned- politician and that he started working on a plot to gain individual support from Kashmiri politicians who could otherwise extend support to the senior PDP leader from Baramulla.
Sources said the two leaders had been rivals in the PDP but that now they have turned into “arch rivals in race for power.”
Sources said the ousted PDP has started holding separate meetings with the politicians who had been in touch with his “arch rival” leader from north Kashmir. Sources said as the developments reached the ears of the noted lawyer turned politician he also started fresh lobbying in New Delhi.
Sources said the politician has been in touch with the corridors of power in New Delhi and has told them that “domicile rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir should be restored at an earliest such that Assembly elections could be held smoothly.”
Sources said New Delhi has welcomed his suggestions thereby unnerving his rival who holds influence in the Amira Kadal constituency.
Despite repeated attempts the politicians in question couldn’t be contacted for comments.
