SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) on Saturday expelled Mohammad Jaffer Akhoon, Chief Executive Councillor (CEC) of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Kargil, from the party’s primary membership for six years, citing anti-party activities and indiscipline.
The decision was announced by the party in a post on its official X handle, stating that JKNC General Secretary Haji Ali Mohammad Sagar had ordered the action against Akhoon.
“The action has been taken in view of his anti-party activities and for causing indiscipline within the party,” the party said.
The move comes amid months of friction within the INDIA bloc alliance in Kargil, following differences over an alleged pre-election rotational power-sharing arrangement between the National Conference and the Indian National Congress (INC).
According to reports, the dispute intensified after Akhoon allegedly refused to honour the proposed rotational power-sharing agreement with the Congress after the LAHDC Kargil elections.
