"In our meeting with AICC chief in New Delhi, we had clearly told the leadership that appointment of Vikar Rasool as J&K head is unacceptable. We had proposed name of senior persons like Tariq Hameed Kara, G M Saroori, or myself.As Vikar Rasool is very junior to use and has no experience to handle to the coveted post as the elections are nearing. We even proposed the leadership to continue G A Mir. "
