64 Jammu and Kashmir Congress leaders quit party in support of Ghulam Nabi Azad

The Hindu  

As many as 64 senior Congress leaders, including former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand, resigned from the party in support of Ghulam Nabi Azad in Jammu on August 30, asserting that Mr. Azad’s vision will shape a new and bright future for Jammu and Kashmir. “All of us had a very long association with the party spanning over decades and devoted all our energy and resources towards expanding the party in Jammu and Kashmir but unfortunately we found that the treatment meted out to us was humiliating,” Mr. Singh said, reading out from the joint resignation letter signed by 64 leaders and senior functionaries from across Jammu Province. The letter further said, “With our leader and mentor Ghulam Nabi Azad having resigned from the party on the issue listed by him in a letter to you, we believe that we should also come out of Congress to make some worthwhile contribution in building a positive political society where people are heard and responded too.” Mr. Azad will soon launch a national-level party from Jammu and Kashmir. Claiming that Jammu and Kashmir is facing an unprecedented crisis in the absence of an elected government, Mr. Singh said Mr. Azad’s decision to launch a national level party from Jammu will inspire hope and new determination to set things right once and for all.
