I had resigned eight months before being sacked: Drabu

Srinagar : A week later after declining his nomination to the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of PDP, Kashmir’s former finance minister Dr Haseeb Drabu on Friday dropped the bombshell that much before he was sacked from the council of ministers, he had “resigned from the cabinet, legislative assembly and the membership of PDP”.
His surprise came on micro-blogging site Twitter, where he said: “repulsive how paratroopers with proximity to Mehbooba Mufti in power are now trashing her.”
Castigating “paratroopers” of not standing up at an appropriate time, Drabu said, “with benefit of hindsight all are wise to say they should have resigned. Point is they didn’t. I did. From the cabinet, assembly and party 8 months before being dropped. But that’s another story.” Drabu though did not reveal who the ‘paratroopers’ are.
However, he didn’t reveal the “another story” as to why he had done so and why it wasn’t accepted. He, however, wrote on social site “at last the reason for my sacking has been made public! J&K improved its ranking from 11 (2016) to 7 (2018) among all the states in fiscal management. It was 24 in 2015 when I became FM.” A day after he was sacked for his “remarks”, Drabu issued a detailed letter expressing his “shock and surprise that he has no formal or even personal communication either from the government or from the party about his being dropped from the Cabinet.”
