Delhi, August 27th, 2022: Former Rajya Sabha MP and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad quit the party on Friday after which he announced the launch of his new party with its first unit being in Jammu & Kashmir.
“I am in no hurry as of now to launch a national party but keeping in mind that elections are likely to be held in Jammu and Kashmir, I have decided to launch a unit there as of now,” Azad said.
He, however, refused to divulge any more details about the formation of his new party.
Unwilling to be dragged into any discussion over his resignation, Azad said “I have thought about this decision for a long time and there is no going back”.
In his 5-page long resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi, Azad cited Rahul Gandhi and his behavior as the reason for the party’s downfall and said that the party was destroyed beyond the point of return.
