NC holds meetings for Assembly polls

Srinagar, December 7

Barely two weeks after the dissolution of the Assembly, the NC has launched constituency-wise marathon meetings of workers to decide on the candidatures ahead of the Assembly elections.

The party has been in favour of fresh Assembly elections after the imposition of Governor’s rule in the state in June. Having been in the opposition after a fractured mandate in 2014, the NC has already geared up for the Assembly elections.

The NC had stayed away from the recent municipal and the ongoing panchayat elections over the issue of a petition challenging Article 35A in the Supreme Court and Article 370 apart from the overall security situation in Kashmir.

Chief spokesperson of the NC Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi said the party had been “engaged in the process of marathon meetings at the level of Assembly constituencies across the state”. — TNS
