Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Friday expelled its Member Parliament Nazir Ahmad Laway for his anti-party activities.
“The Member of Rajya Sabha Mr. Nazir Ahmed Laway has been expelled from the basic membership of the party”, a party spokesman said here.
The decision, he said, has been taken by the party leadership after learning the participation of Mr Laway in the official function of the swearing-in ceremony of the newly appointed Lieutenant Governor in Srinagar, thus undermining the party leadership in entirety.
He said that the participation of the MP was in contravention to the party stand regarding the current political situation and revocation of Article 370.
This is not for the first time that the Member Parliament, who was nominated to the Rajya Sabha by the party has gone against the directives and instructions of the party, the spokesman said adding that prior to this the incumbent abstained from the voting against the Triple Talaq bill which was tabled in the Rajya Sabha this year. Even after seeking an explanation for such an unruly behaviour, Mr Laway remained adamant in violating the basic party norms.
Therefore, according to the spokesman, the PDP leadership has decided to expel Mr Nazir Ahmad Laway from party’s basic membership, with immediate effect.
