Iltija responded to the National Conference’s query on why Geelani’s granddaughter cannot join the People’s Democratic Party.
Iltija, a senior leader, addressed a question raised by the National Conference (NC) concerning the inability of Geelani’s granddaughter to become a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The NC inquiry highlighted concerns over procedural or eligibility issues, prompting Iltija to push back against the implication that there was an unjust barrier. In her response, she emphasized that no formal restriction had been communicated by the PDP leadership.
The exchange underscores ongoing debates within Jammu and Kashmir’s political circles about candidate selection and party affiliation, though no further details were provided at the time of reporting.
