Haseeb Drabu Sacked

The sacking of senior PDP minister Haseeb Drabu has given rise to concerns about the immediate future of Jammu and Kashmir's ruling alliance in Delhi. The top BJP leadership has summoned its senior state leaders to the national capital to discuss the possible repercussions on the alliance and mediate on ways to resolve the situation.

The BJP on Monday termed Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's decision to sack Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu from her Cabinet a "setback" to PDP-BJP alliance and said it would widen the gap between the two allies.

Haseeb Drabu, the finance minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has been sacked over a controversial comment that Kashmir is "not a political issue", say sources.
