Mir, who had resigned from PDP last year, announced his joining JKPM today at a press conference here, party sources said.
JKPM was recently launched by former IAS officer-turned politician Shah Faesal.
Mir, who represented the Chadoora assembly constituency in central Kashmir’s Budgam district for three successive terms from 2002, had been a cabinet minister in the previous PDP- BJP government.
He was inducted as revenue minister in PDP-BJP government in 2015.
