We're not doing certain things and we're not the best team in the world, technically, and we've got to work and keep digging in'. I don't care whatever job or workplace you're in, if you're under pressure and you don't want to fight, don't bother turning up.

However, the senior minister who confirmed the development said Drabu continues to be a part of PDP.

Dr Drabu recently during his visit to the national capital has allegedly said that Kashmir is not a political but social issue.

Addressing a press conference at NC Headquarters, NC General Secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar said Chief Minister and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti and her party are "for their total sell-out" and said "this recent outrageous statement is the last nail in the coffin for PDP".

"We are trying to find our own space and we are going through a process which many other countries are also going through", the minister had said. "We seriously need to look at in terms of how it is a society that is in search of itself", he added.

The role of Drabu had become extremely crucial for the negotiations between PDP and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership before government formation in the state.
