Former finance minister Haseeb Drabu has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Drabu announced his resignation in a letter to PDP president, Mehbooba Mufti.

*“Even though I have not been a dissident — you are aware I had resigned from the cabinet, assembly and party nearly two years ago which you didn’t accept — I have disengaged from the party affairs for quite some time now.”*

“I didn’t precipitate the matter because I believe it is ethically and morally wrong to leave the party under whose aegis one has contested and won the seat in the legislative assembly. Now that it is over, I am hereby resigning from the JK PDP,” Drabu wrote in his letter.
