SRINAGAR, DEC 19 (PTK): In a major success for National Conference, senior PDP leaders and former minister in PDP govt Syed Basharat Bukhari today joined National Conference in NC Head office.
Earlier in the day amid reports of the duo joining the NC, the PDP expelled both Hussain and Bukhari from the party for “anti-party activities”. “The PDP has expelled Bukhari and Hussain from the basic membership of the party on charges of anti-party activities,” said PDP vice-president Abdul Rehman Veeri.
The two-time MLA from north Kashmir’s Sangrama Assembly constituency, Bukhari was a Cabinet minister in the PDP-BJP coalition government. Bukhari (56), a former broadcaster, joined the PDP in 2003 and was elected to the Legislative Council during the late Mufti Sayeed-led PDP-Congress coalition government. He got elected from Sangrama in Baramulla district in 2008 and 2014.
