SRINAGAR —  National Conference (NC) spokesperson Junaid Azim Mattu resigned from the party on Tuesday, citing disagreements with the party over its decision to boycott the upcoming local body polls.

Mattu said he would contest the local polls from Srinagar district to serve the people. 

“Based on my humble disagreement with the party’s decision to boycott the upcoming ULB and Panchayat Polls, I have just sent my resignation from the party to the JKNC General Secretary,” Mattu posted on Twitter.

He alleged that leaving the grassroots democratic institutions “open to misrepresentation” would inflict serious harm on the state, and wreak havoc with the social fabric and cultural legacy.
