A PDP spokesperson said that the decision has been taken on the directions of party leadership.
He said that PDP has initiated a tough disciplinary action against the members of the party who met the visiting foreign delegates. All of them have been expelled from the party.
“In view of the developments post August 5 and the unilateral move of the GoI which has violated the will (of the people) and hurt the sentiments of people, it has come to attention of the party that certain party leaders have been part of the parleys which go against the interests of J&K, official position and the core beliefs of the party,” the PDP spokesman said.
“(The) party’s disciplinary committee has thus recommended the expulsion of all these leaders from the basic membership of the party”, he said.
