Twenty-four days after the death of Mufti Mohmad Sayeed, the political uncertainty continues in Jammu and Kashmir. Even after Sayeed’s demise the state has no government or chief minister as the standoff continues between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The PDP on Sunday held a high level meeting in Srinagar to take a call over government formation. However, so far the BJP central leadership has not committed any concessions to PDP president Mehbooba Mufti.

“The core group meeting was called today (on Sunday) to basically discuss party affairs like its membership campaign and reaching out to people. However, some leaders and legislators wanted to know Mehboobaji`s views on government formation,” a party leader said.

“She told them she was not averse to government formation, but she won`t burn her fingers for nothing. She spoke about Mufti Sahib taking a big decision by deciding to form an alliance with the BJP but his dream remained largely unaddressed during his 10-month tenure,” said the source.

According to sources, the PDP doesn’t want to alienate its core constituents further, who are miffed with the alliance with the BJP.

PDP leader Naeem Akhtar said, “We called a party meeting where all our senior leaders were present. We discussed about the party work and government formation.”

PDP has earlier flagged issues like relations with Pakistan, revocation of the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and return of power projects to Jammu and Kashmir from the Centre which are part of the ‘Agenda of Alliance’.
