Srinagar
\nIn an effort to stifle dissent and stem the rebellion by party legislators, Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday met five MLAs, including two dissidents, to \u201cthrash out\u201d the differences.<\/p>\n
The dissident MLAs, who met Mehbooba included Abdul Majeed Paddar and Abdul Rahim Rather. The other three MLAs were former minister Abdul Haq Khan, Javeed Mustafa Mir and Shah Mohd Tantray. Abdul Haq\u2019s meeting is significant as he has remained silent after he was dropped from the Cabinet by Mehbooba.<\/p>\n
The meeting of the MLAs, including the two dissidents, is seen a significant move by the party to ensure the flock remains together.<\/p>\n
Rather, an MLA from Kokernag, said he met the PDP chief and apprised her about some issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI conveyed my points and concerns and it is up to the leader to act on that,\u201d Rather said. \u201cShe was positive. Whatever I said, she agreed to every point,\u201d he said. Rather said he was part of the PDP and was not a \u201crebel\u201d as was being reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, I had some issues which I discussed with the party leader in the meeting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The other dissident Abdul Majeed Paddar, who publicly spoke against Mehbooba, met her at her Gupkar residence.<\/p>\n
PDP sources said the MLAs expressed their unhappiness over the way the party\u2019s top posts were held by those people who had no political base. It is also learnt that Mehbooba made it clear to the MLAs that some politicians were trying to \u201cbefool them by telling that government formation was under way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
