Srinagar, July 3 (SocialNews.XYZ) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headed by former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti claimed on Wednesday that many leaders, who had left the party after 2019, were eager to return.

In a statement issued here, the party said, “PDP has formed a committee led by Sartaj Madni. This committee will create a report and provide consultation on the rejoining of former ministers and legislators. The report will be submitted to the party's political affairs committee, which includes party head Mehbooba Mufti."

“Following this consultation, decisions will be made about which ex-ministers and legislators will be welcomed back into the party. Abdul Haq Khan has been confirmed as having rejoined both the party and the committee. Several others, who have approached the party, including Imran Ansari, Ashraf Mir, Choudhary Zulfiqar, Abdul Majeed Padder, Nizam-ud-din Bhat, Khursheed Alam, Yasir Reshi, Pir Mansoor, Raja Manzoor, Rahim Rather, Noor Mohammad, Qamar Ali and more," said the PDP.
