The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday were seen putting efforts to end the war of words between the key constituents of the Peoples Alliance for the Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), the National Conference (NC) and the PDP, as the amalgam will complete four years in August.
“PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has played a key role in the formation of the Gupkar alliance. She firmly believes that the struggle to restore rights and dignity of people of J&K is a long way, and needs to be fought together on one platform,” PDP chief spokesman Suhail Bukhari said.
Referring to PDP leader Waheed Parra’s statement on the party foundation day on Monday, Mr. Bukhari played down the remarks. “The (Parra’s) statement could be in reaction to the remarks made by some NC leaders at the local level. The two parties have political differences but the situation demands to stay together. People want it and are of the opinion that divided leadership is not good at this juncture,” Mr. Bukhari said.
