Srinagar: Former senior Peoples Democratic Party leaders, Syed Basharat Bukhari and Peer Mohammad Hussain, on Wednesday joined the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference.
Bukhari, along with Peer Mohammad Hussain were expelled by PDP on Tuesday for “anti-party activities” soon after reports about their joining NC surfaced in the media.
Sources said that Bukhari joined the NC in presence of senior leaders including president Dr Farooq Abdullah and vice president Omar Abdullah.
Bukhari is an elder brother of assassinated journalist and editor of Rising Kashmir Syed Shujaat Bukhari while Hussain was a close associate of late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
