Srinagar, Feb 05 : Political journey of Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) led by former J&K Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad seems to be at its ‘fag end’ in the Union Territory.
Sources told the news agency that all the leaders who had quit Congress in 2022 have decided to rejoin the “grand old party” again.
Many leaders under the leadership of former legislator Taj Mohi-ud-din are set to rejoin Congress in the next few days, they said.
Taj had quit Congress in August 2022 to join DPAP. He later announced his resignation from the party in August last year and contested 2024 Assembly polls unsuccessfully as an independent candidate from Uri constituency.
Other leaders who intend to rejoin Congress include G M Saroori, Muhammad Amin Bhat from Devsar, Ashok Kumar, Gulzar Ahmad Wani and others, sources privy to the development said.
“The mass rejoining is expected to take place in Jammu or in New Delhi this week,” they said.
Several leaders, who are expected to rejoin Congress, have already resigned from DPAP last year.
Pertinently, KNO had reported that the DPAP is facing an uncertain future following its crushing defeat in the 2024 assembly elections.
The party’s activities have come to a standstill, with Azad himself maintaining an unusual silence and absence from the political scene in Jammu and Kashmir
