Srinagar, Nov. 5 -- Hitting back at Peoples' Democratic Party, Member Parliament Rajya Sabha said party's spokesperson has no authority to expel him from the party.

The PDP on Friday expelled its Rajya Sabha member Nazir Ahmad Laway from the party for "anti-party activities", after he had attended the swearing-in ceremony of the new Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.

"The member of Rajya Sabha, Nazir Ahmed Laway, has been expelled from the basic membership of the party," a PDP spokesman said in a statement here.

Laway said he does not accept the expulsion.

"How can a spokesperson issue a statement for my expulsion when party president Mehbooba Mufti is behind bars since August 5? Tell me who the spokesperson is who expelled me?...
