The Peoples Democratic Party has expelled former minister Altaf Bukhari expelled from for his involvement in anti-party activities.
Bukhari had joined the PDP in 2005 and was first elected in 2014 elections from Amira Kadal constituency of Srinagar. He had a long association with PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
Bukhari was also a member of the party's highest decision-making body, Political Affairs Committee.
The PDP accused Bukhari of perusing his personal political ambition at the cost of the party and state interest.
