Mattu”s ascent to the mayor”s office was surrounded by controversy.
Junaid Azim Mattu was on Tuesday surprisingly removed as the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) mayor after he lost a no-confidence motion moved against him in the city body.
Junaid Azim Mattu, whose election as Srinagar mayor had generated controversy two years ago, took to Twitter to announce his defeat.
“The vote of ”No Confidence Motion” against me, and the @JKPC_ (Jammu and Kashmir People”s Conference) has been passed in the SMC with 42 votes out of 70. The @BJP4India, @JKNC_ (Jammu and Kashmir National Conference) and some independents have polled against the @JKPC_ and @INCIndia abstaining whip where 28 Corporators abstained,” Mattu said in a series of tweets.
“I respect the verdict of the Corporation,” he said.
Mattu, who has survived a no-confidence motion in the past, claimed the BJP and the National Conference have joined hands in Srinagar.
