Srinagar: National Conference spokesperson Junaid Azim Mattu on Tuesday announced that he has left the party citing differences to boycott the upcoming urban local bodies polls in the state.
Mattu took to twitter to announce him leaving the NC.
“Based on my humble disagreement with the party’s decision to boycott the upcoming ULB and Panchayat Polls, I have just sent my resignation from the party to the JKNC General Secretary,” he tweeted.
He said that ‘leaving our grassroots democratic institutions open to misrepresentation would inflict serious harm on the State and also wreak havoc with our social fabric and cultural legacy’.
“I will announce my candidature for the ULB elections from Srinagar tomorrow in sha Allah and I remain committed to serving my people and helping the city I grew up in meet the challenges it’s faced with. I won’t be addressing the media or taking any questions today,” he tweeted.
