SRINAGAR, Jan 19: PDP today expelled its senior leader Syed Altaf Bukhari for "anti-party activities.
In a statement, a spokesman of PDP said that the party has been watching with concern the activities of Bukhari for quite some time.
“Ever since the passing away of our founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, he (Altaf) has been pursuing his personal political ambition at the cost of the party and state interest," the statement said.
The statement alleged that Bukhari inspired and led dissent in the party at its most crucial stage which resulted in serious damage to "our efforts at implementing the agenda of alliance of our coalition government."
"While the party leadership was engaged in negotiations with its partner and the government of India insisting on implementing some agreed points before forming the new government, the dissension weakened its bargaining position forcing subsequent events against its will,” PDP said.
The party said in spite of this obvious backstabbing and subversion of people's interest the party leadership believed in subsequent explanations and assurances of Bukhari and reposed complete trust in him by re-inducting him in cabinet.
“Unfortunately, even after the end of coalition, Bukhari instead of pursuing party interest in accordance with the expectations of our voters and workers started open attempts at breaking the party by hobnobbing with its rivals,” the statement said, adding that newspapers have been running stories almost on daily basis to create an impression of Bukhari being at the centre of a 'rebellion' brewing in the party.
“The leadership waited in the hope of Bukhari rejecting these reports to clear the air. But unfortunately he did nothing to remove this impression. It was therefore decided to expel Bukhari from party's basic membership with immediate effect,” the statement added.
