PDP Postpones Meeting Set For Monday Due to Continued Detention of Some Leaders, Mulls Legal Action

News 18  

The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party has postponed a meeting scheduled for Monday in view of the continued detention of its some leaders. "We had convened a meeting tomorrow to discuss the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir, but it has now been postponed as authorities have refused to allow some of the leaders to move out of their houses," PDP leader Waheed Para said. A senior PDP leader, seeking anonymity, said the initiative to hold the meeting was taken at the instructions of party president Mehbooba Mufti, who is also under detention at her official residence here. Making it clear that there can be "nothing about us without us" in Jammu and Kashmir, six mainstream political parties, including the National Conference and the PDP, on Saturday released a resolution terming the abrogation of special status of the erstwhile state a "spitefully shortsighted" and "grossly unconstitutional" move and pledging a combined effort for restoration of the pre-August 5 position of last year.
