PDP Chief Spokesperson Mirza Mehboob Beg, while paying tribute to Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on his 10th death anniversary, said that Mufti Mohammad Sayeed was a far-sighted and statesmanlike leader who laid the foundation of reconciliation-based politics in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that Mufti Mohammad Sayeed introduced the Common Minimum Programme, which helped maintain a balance between the government and the opposition and strengthened democratic values. Mirza Mehboob Beg further said that the alliance between the PDP and the BJP was formed under a clear and written agreement. He clarified that the alliance remained intact as long as the terms of the agreement were honoured, and once the agreement had run its course, the alliance came to an end.
