He announced his resignation on social media. Later, he told Excelsior that he couldn’t connect people with the PC in Srinagar as they didn’t like its political ideology.
“It has been an incredible experience to be part of this esteemed party. However, the time and circumstances demand that I, as a representative of my people, look beyond the horizon and address their concerns, respecting the faith they have reposed in me since the very onset,” he posted on X.
“While People’s Conference is a wonderful platform and Sajad Lone is a remarkable person with whom I share a brotherly bond, I believe that the mandate of my people would not get fully addressed here. It is time for me to move on to better serve my constituency,” he said.
Alam had joined the PDP after retiring from Government service. He was one among the politicians arrested on August 5, 2019 when the Centre had abrogated Articles 370 and 35 A besides dividing Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories (UTs).
He had resigned from the PDP in March 2021.
He is the second leader who resigned from the PC. Earlier former MLA Nizamudin Bhat resigned from the PC.
