A day after some senior leaders from Kashmir Valley threatened to resign from the party against the arrogant attitude of new entrants, the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the BJP on Friday removed three senior activists from the posts to place the annoyed lot.
Enraged over the attitude of some new entrants in the party, senior BJP leaders from Kashmir Valley have raised a banner of revolt.
According to an official handout issued by the party, Abhijeet Jasrotia has been relieved from the position of BJP's social media Parbhari J&K UT. He has not been assigned any sort of responsibility for Kashmir province.
Furthermore, Vir Saraf, who is a full-timer in the party, has been recalled from South Kashmir and asked to report to party headquarters at Trikuta Nagar.
Mudassar Wani, another full-timer of the party has been recalled from North Kashmir. He was also asked to report to the party headquarters at Trikuta Nagar.
Highly placed sources said that actions against some more leaders are likely to be taken in the days to come.

As per reports, annoyed leaders have even warned to quit the party in case the High Command does not take them seriously and take care of their genuine issues. The prominent among those who attended the meeting included former MLC and vice president of the party, Sofi Yousuf, spokesperson, Altaf Thakur, Dr. Heena Bhat, Dr. Ali Mohammed, Asif Raja, Ashok Bhat, Bilal Parrey, Bashir Mir, Asif Masoodi, Rafiq Wani and others.
