SRINAGAR, July 8: Former District Development Council (DDC) Baramulla Chairperson Safina Baig today joined the ruling National Conference (NC) and said the people of J&K were being treated as "second-class citizens", urging the Centre to restore the Statehood.
Safina, wife of PDP co-founder and former Deputy Chief Minister Muzaffar Hussain Baig, joined the NC at the party headquarters, Nawa-e-Subh. She was welcomed by NC president Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
Safina's induction is being viewed as a significant political gain for the ruling party in Baramulla district, where the party emerged dominant in the 2024 Assembly elections by winning six of the seven seats.
