Srinagar, December 26
Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader Raja Aijaz Ali on Wednesday joined the People’s Conference (PC) headed by separatist-turned-mainstream politician Sajad Lone here.
Ali, a former IPS officer who retired as IGP, was among the leaders who recently quit the PDP led by former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.
Ali had joined the PDP just ahead of the 2014 Assembly elections and unsuccessfully contested from the Uri constituency in Baramulla district.
He was welcomed into the party fold by Lone, former minister Imran Ansari, who left the PDP earlier last month, and Srinagar mayor Junaid Azim Mattu, who quit the NC in September. — PTI
