Akhtar told CNS all party related issues will be discussed in the proposed meeting which will be attended by both top and second rung leadership.“The basic motive of the party is to follow and accomplish the mission of late Mufti Muhammad Sayeed. There will be discussion how to take his mission forward. I can’t tell you whether the subject of government formation will be taken up in the meeting but, yes, all the important issues are on the agenda and can be discussed in the meeting,” Akhtar said.
Responding to a question, Akhtar said that vacating from CM residence at Wizarat Road Jammu should not be linked to politics. “It had become inevitable to vacate that house after the demise of Chief Minister Mufti Muhamamd Sayeed. We simply followed procedure and it should not be linked with politics,” he said.
