The district General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Minority Morcha, Mohammad Ashraf Mir, resigned from the party, here in Kishtwar on Sunday.
Mir, while talking to Greater Kashmir, said, “I joined BJPas I was convinced that the party would work for welfare, development,progress, brotherhood, peace and unity. But now, I have realized that all theseassurances were nothing but a damp squib.”

They only make promises. I,therefore, decided to quit BJP, instead of being at the receiving end of morefake promises.”
