Ex MLA Pampore Zahoor Ahmad Mir Criticises NC MLA Hasnain Masoodi at PDP Workers’ Convention in Pampore

Pampore: Former MLA Pampore and senior leader of the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Zahoor Ahmad Mir, on Friday criticised National Conference (NC) MLA Pampore, Justice (Retd.) Hasnain Masoodi, alleging that he has failed to effectively raise important public issues concerning the Pampore constituency.

Addressing a PDP workers’ meeting held at Meej, Pampore, Mir said that instead of highlighting pressing developmental concerns and public grievances faced by the people, the NC legislator has been supporting policies related to alcohol, which, according to him, are against the social values and religious sentiments of the local population. He added that such positions do not align with the cultural and Islamic ethos of society.

The meeting was organised by the Jammu and Kashmir People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as part of its efforts to review party functioning and strengthen its grassroots presence in the area. The convention witnessed participation from a large number of party workers and local residents.

During his address, Zahoor Ahmad Mir interacted with party cadres and invited them to participate in a district-level workers’ convention scheduled to be held on April 12, 2026, at Chandgam in Pulwama district.
