Speaking to The Kashmiriyat, Sofi Yousuf said that he has not received any letter from the party as of yet. “If there is anything of that sort, I will continue working as a worker of the Party. Not as a leader, but I will continue to be a ground level worker for the Bhartiya Janta Party,” Yousuf said.
He said that he has been conveyed through various sources that he will be ousted from the party. “Though nothing has been convened to me through the party, but I am not going to quit the party. I will stay as a dedicated worker and activist of the party,” Yousuf said.
