SRINAGAR, Dec 13: Former IGP Raja Aijaz Ali who had unsuccessfully contested last assembly elections from Uri on PDP ticket resigned from the party today.
“I have resigned from the PDP and sent my resignation to the party president,” Raja Aijaz told media.
He alleged he was side-lined by the party leadership and not empowered politically.
Aijaz said PDP has drifted off the path and had become a hub of insensitive people.
The former police officer, who retired as IGP, had joined PDP. He contested polls on PDP mandate from Uri in 2014 and ended up runner-up with almost 19,000 votes. In recent days, Raja was representing the party on crucial issues on various TV debates within the state.
A number of leaders recently resigned from PDP. They are Imran Raza Ansari, Abid Ansari, Mohammad Abbas Wani, and Dr Haseeb A Drabu.
