SRINAGAR, Mar 24: Former Rajya Sabha member Mir Mohammad Fayaz today returned to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after three years.
A spokesman of the PDP said here that Mir joined the PDP today and was welcomed by the party president Mehbooba Mufti.
He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2015. He resigned from the PDP in 2021, two years after the abrogation of Article 370, and joined the Sajad Lone-led People’s Conference the same year. He quit active politics in September last year and has been in touch with the PDP since then.
Mir had finished third in his native assembly segment of Kupwara in 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Mir had lost the 2014 Assembly election to Peoples Conference’s Bashir Ahmad Dar.
