If sources are to be believed Ishfaq Jabbar has been unhappy with the party and has raised his voice against it from last few months.
His first indication of unhappiness was vividly clear when he released a video message asking the party leadership for introspection.
The message was released immediately after Davinder Singh Rana joined BJP in New Delhi.
Sources close to Ishfaq told Srinagar based news agency Kashmir Dot Com that he is not happy with the party leadership as he has got hints that NC vice president Omar Abdullah may contest elections from Ganderbal assembly segment.
“That is why he wants to leave the party and is weighing his options between Peoples conference and Apni Party,” sources added.
Ishfaq was also not elected District president of Ganderbal during the party elections which also indicated a red signal from the Abdullah family leadership to him. (KDC)
