SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President, Mehbooba Mufti said that only the PDP Chief Spokesman Naeem Akhtar is authorised to articulate the party’s views in the media on the policy matters.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, Mehbooba made it clear that the statements of the Chief Spokesman should be taken as the stated position of the party on various policy issues.
“In the prevailing hazy political scenario, unqualified comments in the media only add to the confusion and fuel wild speculations,” she said adding that as a responsible political party PDP will take not only its cadres but the people of the State on board before arriving on any decision regarding the future course of action.
“I want to assure my party cadres and the people that whatever decision is to be taken will be taken in the larger interest of the State and its people,” she said and added that the mandate given by the people to the PDP to represent the political aspirations and economic interests of all the regions and sub-regions of Jammu and Kashmir would be represented and valued in adequate measure.
