Adressing concern on the attempts being made to fragment the mandate in Jammu and Kashmir, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) Tuesday asserted that it shall be open for joint response to the new political challenges in the state. The concerns were expressed by the members of Political Affairs Committee of the PDP, who met party president Mehbooba Mufti.
"The party held threadbare discussion about the current political situation within the state of Jammu and Kashmir besides the measures to be taken to strengthen the party at grassroots level," PDP spokesman Rafi Ahmad Mir said after the meeting. He said the participants observed that the onslaught on the special status of Jammu and Kashmir was multi-dimensional and every attempt was being made to politically disempower the people of the state.
