Karra Denies Holding Talks with NC over Budgam, Nagrota Seats

SRINAGAR: Congress President Tariq Hamid Karra on Monday said the party has not held any discussion related to the Budgam and Nagrota by-elections with the National Conference.

Karra described the reports quoting him as saying that Congress has decided to skip Budgam and Nagrota as “mischievous and ridiculous.” “There have been no formal or informal discussions with the NC regarding the Budgam or Nagrota seats,” he said.

He added that they will initiate legal action against the news portal if it does not remove the baseless content. “We will file a complaint against these mischievous claims. I don’t know how I have been quoted as saying this, nor have I spoken to the news portal that carried the report,” he said. (KNO)
