Srinagar: The Apni Party on Saturday ordered its chief spokesperson Muntazir Mohiuddin to show cause after he announced support for National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah in the Budgam assembly segment.
Mohiuddin has been asked to clarify his remarks before the party leadership within 48 hours, “failing which disciplinary action will be taken”.
“The Apni Party issued a show cause notice to its chief spokesperson Muntazir Mohiuddin for his purported remarks supporting Omar Abdullah,” it said in a statement.
Mohiuddin has announced his support for Abdullah, who is contesting the assembly polls from Budgam.
“After consulting with friends and well-wishers, I withdrew my nomination papers in favour of Omar Abdullah. My friends unanimously agreed that supporting the former Jammu Kashmir chief minister is the right decision,” he had said.
Abdullah has welcomed Mohiuddin’s announcement and said his support would strengthen his campaign and bring victory closer.
KNO reported that Omar thanked Apni Party leader Muntazir Mohi-ud-din for extending his support to him for the wellbeing of the Budgam people, saying that the Apni Party has even issued a show cause notice to him because he withdrew in favour of me.
Furthermore, Omar said that the people are suffering because of the prevalent situation here, adding that the youth are fed up with the FIRs, and other things. “The people face day-to-day issues like roads, water, electricity, playgrounds and other things to be resolved and thus are participating in the rallies and will also raise their voices by casting their ballots,” he said.
