Apni Party Faces Another Setback As Key Leader from South Kashmir Expected to Resign

Srinagar: Amid the massive political party-hopping in Kashmir, the Altaf-Bukari led Apni Party is likely to receive another jolt in the valley.

Former minister and prominent Apni Party leader Abdul Rahim Rather is expected to resign from the party in the next few days.

This development was confirmed to The Kashmiriyat by a close aide of Rather, who previously served as MLA for Kokernag in Anantnag.

Rather, a key figure from the Kokernag area of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, was instrumental in supporting and organizing public meetings for Bukhari in the southern region.

He was among fourteen of the twenty-eight MLAs who defected from the People’s Democratic Party in June 2018, following its loss of power when the BJP exited the coalition government.
