No infighting in NC, provincial meet a routine affair: Tanvir Sadiq

Srinagar, May 07: National Conference (NC) chief spokesperson and MLA Zadibal Tanvir Sadiq on Thursday dismissed rumors of dissent within the party, asserting that the recent provincial meeting was a routine organizational affair.

Speaking to news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS) after the Kashmir province meeting, MLA Sadiq clarified that such gatherings occur monthly. He described this particular meeting as significant, being the first since the shifting of the Darbar Move.

“Discussions were held on organizational aspects and ongoing development work. The way the chief minister Omar Abdullah-led government has laid the foundation of development in J&K, especially in the Kashmir valley, was reviewed,” MLA Sadiq said.

He rejected claims that MLAs are upset with the party leadership, terming them a “rumor” spread by opponents. “Not a single NC member or worker is upset. Our opponents are either scared or have nothing else to do but spread rumors. The NC is strong and will fulfill its promises,” he stated.

MLA Sadiq clarified that the meeting was not a forum to discuss cabinet expansion, reiterating that it is “the chief minister’s prerogative.” He affirmed that all party MLAs remain united and that no “Indian party” would be able to lure them away.
