Party to hold crucial meet today, Sajad Lone for closing proxy candidates chapter
Srinagar, Jan 16: Amid Political slugfest, People’s Conference has called a crucial party meeting on Monday where party chief Sajad Gani Lone is expected to deliberate on recent political developments with his senior party leaders including Vice President Imran Raza Ansari and Abdul Gani Vakil.
Both Ansari and Vakil have been raising serious objections about party continuing its support to PAGD. They have accused alliance parties of fielding proxy candidates against each other during the recently held DDC polls.
This would be the first meeting of People’s Conference after the two senior PC leaders raised a red flag and asked Sajad Lone publically to snap ties with the Gupkar Alliance.
Sources told KNS that the party leaders were likely to deliberate on the allegations of fielding proxy candidates by some alliance parties besides other party issues.
Pertinently the PC has been on edge from last several weeks after Vakil and Ansari have publically demanded a pullout from the PAGD.
These leaders have questioned the alliance for what they said ” its double speak” saying such ” tantrums” are unacceptable. They have asked party chief Sajad Lone to snap ties with the PAGD immediately.
Sources further said that Ansari and Vakil are demanding that Sajad should ask the PAGD leaders to take action against the leaders who fielded proxy candidates during the recently held District Development Council elections. “If the PAGD fails to act against the erring leaders then Sajad should pull out from the amalgam,” sources said.
They said that however, Sajad Lone, has made it clear that both the senior leaders of the party should close the proxy chapter and allow things to settle down. (KNS)
