  • Comment: Still needs the references and section headers fixing. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 06:39, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: A lot of promotional content has been removed, but since every single sentence that remains is also promotional and has not been revised, the draft is still written in an unacceptable tone.
    Instead of fixing the ref dump as explained by Theroadislong, sources have been added as external links in the article. Please remove all such links, and add proper references. bonadea contributions talk 21:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: See WP:REFB for help with formatting sources, it is helpful to reviewers if the references are placed directly after the content that they support. The draft will need a complete re-write in neutral encyclopaedic tone. Theroadislong (talk) 08:45, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Potentially passes WP:NPOLITICIAN but is not written in a neutral point of view. It is written like a fan page not an encyclopaedic article. Dan arndt (talk) 03:46, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Following his resignation, he later joined the Indian National Congress but eventually left the party due to what he perceived as a lack of genuine commitment to the development of the common people in Jammu and Kashmir.[14]
