Chief minister Mehbooba Mufti should resign if the agenda of alliance, the guiding framework of Jammu and Kashmir’s ruling coalition, is not implemented within a time frame, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) parliamentarian Muzaffar Hussain Baig suggested on Thursday. His comments came after a row that he had asked Mufti to resign for her “failure to implement the agenda of alliance”. Baig, a former deputy chief minister, said circumstances didn’t allow the PDP-BJP government enough time to implement the agenda. She sent the invitation as the PDP head, not as chief minister. Union home minister Rajnath Singh, who led the all-party delegation, had distanced himself from attempts of the chief minister to persuade the separatists for talks.
