From outset, I will strongly urge you take this letter of mine in proper spirit and t in any manner think that this is a letter challenging your decisions and authority in party. It does t mean that we are against spirit of PAGD or objectives of PAGD. But in wake of deceitful behaviour shown by our allies by fielding proxy candidates in almost all DDC constituencies, we need to seriously think wher PAGD collectively possesses sincerity that people of J&K deserve."
