Displeasure over Mubarak Gul not getting ministerial post
Earlier, soon after the cabinet reshuffle, senior leader Mubarak Gul was appointed the general secretary of the party. This decision was seen as an attempt to pacify him, because Mubarak Gul was not given the post of minister. After the cabinet expansion, Mubarak Gul’s supporters also protested at the Srinagar headquarters of the National Conference. The protesters reached the party office and raised slogans against the newly appointed minister Ali Mohammad Sagar. During this, slogans like ‘Gul Gul Sher Gul’ and ‘Party’s decision rejected’ were raised. This protest by Mubarak Gul’s supporters after not getting the ministerial post was considered a sign of resentment within the National Conference.
