PDP starts membership drive

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today kick-started its membership drive from summer capital Srinagar where many of the senior leaders renewed their association with the party.
The membership drive was started by party president Mehbooba Mufti during a workers convention near the party s headquarters here.
Many senior leaders, including legislators and former ministers, participated in the membership drive and renewed their membership of the party by paying an amount of Rs 100.
Addressing the workers, Mehbooba said the party launched the membership drive from Srinagar as it was her father and former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's life culminated here.

"We had to start membership much before but Mufti sahib wished to do it in January. We felt it pertinent to start the drive from Srinagar as his journey culminated in Srinagar," she said.
The PDP president asked the workers to start the membership at the booth-level and attract new faces to the party.
