BJP leaders resign en masse in Kashmir

SRINAGAR APRIL 3. In yet another blow to the BJP in the Kashmir Valley, the party office bearers today resigned ``en masse'' and dissolved the party in support of the resignation of senior leader, Abdul Rashid Kabuli, from its State unit vice-presidentship.

The executive body, district office-bearers and workers met at the Barzulla office of the party and passed a resolution to this effect, a release said.

The resolution, announcing the resignation of the Kashmir unit of the BJP en masse and dissolution of the unit was moved by the convenor, Ghulam Qadir, while labour leader, Harbinder Singh, seconded it and was passed unanimously, the release said.

They termed the resignation of Mr. Kabuli from the party as ``timely'' and appreciated his action and expressed full confidence in his leadership.

Another resolution expressed concern over the loss of life and property in the communal riots in Gujarat and other parts of the country and urged the Centre to dismiss the Modi Government for its alleged failure to stop communal riots and hindering investigations carried out by the National Human Rights Commission there. — PTI
