NEW DELHI: The People's Democratic Party ( PDP ) on Thursday said that it is not in competition with the National Conference ( NC ) to boycott the local civic polls but want Governor Satya Pal Malik to address the concerns regarding Article 35-A."There's mix-up of issues due to Article 35-A, which we aren't in favour of. We want Governor to address this and other election related issues after which we'll take a decision on the polls," said Rafi Ahmad Mir, PDP leader on J&K local body elections.The NC had, on Wednesday, announced its decision to boycott the elections to panchayat and urban local bodies in the state unless the Centre clarifies its position on Article 35-A of the Constitution.Mir said that the decision will be taken soon and that the PDP does not want bloodshed in the valley. "It'll take some time, we are for a consultative mechanism, not within the PDP only. We also have to look at our cadre base and people. We aren't here to spoil the situation in J&K, we don't want bloodshed," said the PDP spokesperson."We are the main political party and have always participated in elections. We should not be seen running away from the polls. We will take a final call soon," said Mir.Earlier, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti had tweeted that her party was hopeful that the Governor will convene an all-party meeting on the issue.The state administration had last week announced the schedule for holding the elections to local body poll in the state. While the urban local body polls are slated for the first week of October, the panchayat elections are scheduled to be held in November-December this year. Jammu and Kashmir is currently under governor's rule.
