In blow to National Conference, senior leader Anil Dhar quits party

The Hindu  

The National Conference has suffered yet another setback in Jammu as senior leader Anil Dhar resigned from the party, blaming its leadership for allegedly holding former governor Jagmohan responsible for the migration of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in 1990. Mr Dhar also objected to the recent statements of NC leadership with “communal overtones and bias against Hindus”. “Various statements and utterances do not instill confidence among Kashmiri Hindus, who have faced worst kind of genocide, persecution and mayhem during the past three decades, he said. “In view of all of this, I have lost faith in the National Conference and as such I resign from basic membership of the party as well as all the posts held by me after serving party for the past 30 years”, Dhar said in a letter to NC chief Farooq Abdullah.
