NEW DELHI: After National Conference, it was the turn of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to boycott the local bodies elections in Jammu and Kashmir.Addressing reporters on Monday, Mehbooba Mufti said that Supreme Court's decision to defer hearing on Article 35A till January in the wake of the local polls has created "apprehensions" in the mind of the people and hence her party has "unanimously" decided to stay away from the polls "at this juncture"."Situation linking panchayat polls to 35A case in Supreme Court has created apprehensions in minds of people. Party, therefore, urges the government to review its decision to hold polls at this juncture," Mufti told reporters.Mufti's decision came close on the heels of a similar announcement by National Conference.The president of the National Conference, Farooq Abdullah demanding the Centre to clear its stand on Article 35A and 370, had threatened to boycott not only the local bodies elections but also the Lok Sabha and assembly polls.After announcing his party’s plans to withdraw from the Panchayat polls a few days ago, Abdullah on Saturday had threatened to boycott Lok Sabha and assembly elections also if the Centre fails to give an assurance on protecting the Articles 35A and 370 respectively, which are enjoyed exclusively by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
