India: Four Congress Leaders In Jammu And Kashmir Resign In Support Of GN Azad

NEW DELHI, 30 August 2022, (TON): Four more Congress leaders, including former deputy speaker of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Gulam Hyder Malik, and a dozen prominent workers of the Apni Party resigned from their respective parties on Monday in support of veteran politician Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Mr Azad, a former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, ended his five-decade association with the Congress on Friday, saying the party was comprehensively destroyed and lashing out at Rahul Gandhi for demolishing its entire consultative mechanism.

Mr Malik, a former Congress MLA from Kathua's Bani, and two former MLCs, Subash Gupta from Kathua and Sham Lal Bhagat from Doda, separately forwarded their resignation letters to the party high-command.
