Doda MLA Mehraj Malik, who is also the AAP president in Jammu and Kashmir, announced his decision on social media. “I, Mehraj Malik, MLA from Doda, hereby withdraw my support to NC in the government coalition,” Malik wrote on X.

“This decision has been taken in the best interest of my people of Jammu and Kashmir whose trust and welfare will always be my top priority,” he said.
