Three PDP Leaders Quit Party Over Mehbooba Mufti's Contentious Remarks

Following contentious statements by former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti, three People's Democratic Party leaders quit the party on October 26. The leaders stated that they felt "uncomfortable" over actions of Mufti. Reportedly, TS Bajwa, Ved Mahajan, and Hussain A Waffa have sent their resignations, and expressed that Mufti's remarks had "hurt patriotic sentiments". Earlier, Mufti refused to contest elections or raise the Indian flag until the Article 370 was restored.
