Former Kishtwar MLA Syed Asgar Ali Rejoins Peoples Democratic Party
Syed Asgar Ali, former Kishtwar MLA and ex-IAS officer, rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Srinagar, marking a notable political development. Ali had left the PDP in 2019 during a period of resignations following the BJP's withdrawal from the coalition and the abrogation of Article 370. PDP president Mehbooba Mufti welcomed his return, describing it as a strong political statement that strengthens the party's presence in the Chenab Valley. Other leaders, including members from the Apni Party, also joined the PDP at the event.
