Muzzafar Beigh resigns as MLA

While sources close to him said Beigh had taken the decision to resign since he felt that the state assembly had become “meaningless”,there were also reports he was unhappy with PDP for not playing a positive and a meaningful role in the current situation as the main opposition party.

Beigh could not be reached for his comments despite repeated attempts.

Beigh,who was elected to the state assembly for the first time in 2002 elections,retained Baramulla seat for the party in 2009 elections as well.

Mehbooba Mufti was not immediately available for comments.
