SRINAGAR: Senior politicians Khursheed Aalam and Yasir Reshi resigned from the basic membership of former J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti-led People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday.
After tendering his resignation, Reshi said: “I decided to part ways with PDP going by the advice from party workers.”
