Many speculations are being made about Ghulam Nabi Azad, who was once very close to the Gandhi family. It is being said that he can return to Congress once again. He can be given an important responsibility in the Jammu Kashmir elections. There are even speculations that many leaders of his party can meet Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the next few days. But now Ghulam Nabi Azad’s party itself has responded to this.
Congress sources say that the party is keen on the return of former CM Ghulam Nabi Azad. But some people are opposing it. They say that Azad has used harsh words against the top leaders. However, most people believe that if Azad returns to Congress or merges his party, it can help them. But Ghulam Nabi Azad’s party Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) termed it completely speculative. In a statement issued by the party on Sunday, it was said that the news of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s return to Congress is completely baseless. This rumor is being spread by the leaders of Jammu and Kashmir Congress.
Why are questions being raised after all?
It is being said that ever since Tariq Hameed Karra has been made the state president of Congress, there has been a lot of activity in the party. Former minister Taj Mohiuddin has also announced his return to Congress. It is being told that many leaders of Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban and Reasi districts are trying to join Congress again. Many names like former MLA Abdul Majeed Wani, former MLA from Reasi Jugal Kishore Sharma are being included in these. It is being said that all of them are in contact with Congress.
Why prepare to run away?
According to sources, the activities of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s party DPAP have come to a standstill. He did not show any active participation in the Lok Sabha elections either; even after the announcement of the assembly elections, while Congress, BJP, National Conference and PDP are busy preparing for them, Ghulam Nabi Azad’s party seems to be quiet. Azad himself is currently in Delhi. The party leaders feel that their careers may be sacrificed. That is why they are preparing for homecoming. However, Azad’s party has termed these reports as complete rumours.
