Former Jammu and Kashmir minister and vice president of the Apni Party, Usman Majid, has announced his resignation from the party, alleging that it is closely aligned with the BJP. Majid, a former MLA from north Kashmir's Bandipora assembly constituency, made the announcement while speaking to a media agency. He further explained that his constituents opposed the BJP's "anti-minority stance," which prompted his decision to sever ties with the Apni Party. In 2020, Majid resigned from the Congress to join the Apni Party.
