Srinagar, June 30: The opposition National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir suffered a jolt today when a section of the party office-bearers revolted against the leadership and disrupted the party's provincial unit meeting.
Trouble started when NC general secretary Sheikh Nazir
Ahmad directed party workers to throw out a district president
of the party from the meeting for interrupting him and
expressing his inability to organise a rally on the occasion
of Martyrs' Day on July 13.
Nazir, who was in the chair, had earlier directed the party's district and block presidents and secretaries to muster public support and arrange a massive turnout at July13 rally from all over the valley.
Haji Mohammad Sultan, NC district president of Kupwara rebuffed Sheikh saying when the party was in power no such rally was organised on Martyrs Day.
"We should have organised such rallies when the party was in power. Now the people have distanced from the party and it would be difficult to attract large number of people for the rally,” Sultan said.
Sheikh tried to silence sultan but he refused to budge. Angry Sheikh directed the party workers to throw Sultan out leading to a physical clash between the two.
At this point another block president of the party Ghulam Mohammad Narbali joined the issue with Sheikh. Narbali was also thrown out at the directions of Shiekh. On this the assembled party office-bearers walked out and raised slogans against the party leadership.
