NC Suspends Senior VP for Anti-Party Activities

The National Conference (NC) has suspended Mohammad Syed Akhoon, its senior vice president and former MLA, for six years due to anti-party activities. The decision, made by NC president Farooq Abdullah and communicated by provincial president Showkat Ahmad Mir, follows Akhoon's dissent over being denied an assembly ticket.

The National Conference (NC) announced on Tuesday the suspension of its senior vice president Mohammad Syed Akhoon from the party for six years over alleged anti-party activities.

A letter from Showkat Ahmad Mir, the provincial president for Kashmir, detailed the directive from NC president Farooq Abdullah, stating Akhoon's suspension due to his actions violating party interests.

Akhoon, a former MLA, had shown discontent with the leadership after his exclusion from the candidate list for the Hazratbal assembly, a seat won by NC's youth leader Salman Sagar.
