Now, 5 Jammu & Kashmir Congress leaders resign in solidarity with Ghulam Nabi Azad

Following the resignation by veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, five former Congress legislators from Jammu and Kashmir, including former state ministers, also quit the party.

There are speculations that more J&K Congress leaders will follow Ghulam Mohammad Saroori, Haji Abdul Rashid , Mohammad Amin Bhatt, Gulzar Ahmad Wani, Chaudhary Akram Mohammad and Salman Nizami and resign in solidarity with Azad.

Ghulam Nabi Azad severed a 5-decade long relationship with the grand old party in a brutally honest letter to party chief Sonia Gandhi in which he blamed Rahul Gandhi for destroying the consultative mechanism of the party.

According to reports quoting sources, the 73-year-old former J&K chief minister is likely to form his own party.

The Congress has called the veteran leader's exit ‘unfortunate’ and the timing ‘awful’.
