SRINAGAR: In a major setback to the Opposition National Conference (NC), Kashmir's influential Shia leader Moulvi Iftikhar Hussain Ansari, a Member of Legislative Assembly, resigned on Monday. Secretary of the Legislative Assembly Mohammad Iqbal Ganai confirmed that the Assembly Secretariat had received his resignation as member representing the Pattan Assembly segment. "But it is yet to be accepted," he said. Mr. Ansari said that he had resigned from the seat since he had contested the election for the seat in 2002 on a NC ticket. "Though I won purely on the basis of my own following, I had filed my nomination as NC candidate at that time," he told The Hindu . He said it was not morally proper to continue as NC MLA since he had dissociated himself from the party six months back. Mr. Ansari, a prominent Shia cleric, had organised last month a public rally in Mirgund in his segment and declared that he was no longer associated with the NC. He had charged the NC with complete failure in fulfilling the wishes of the Kashmiri people. "What Sheikh Abdullah could not achieve Mufti Mohammad Sayeed achieved with his political maturity," he had said.
