| Azad repeating 2005 to mount pressure on high command | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 19: Former leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha and ex-chief minister of J&K, Ghulam Nabi Azad is mounting pressure on Congress high command through different modes to get a bigger role in local politics before the assembly elections.
After being sidelined in national politics by the high command, Azad is not trying to get himself accommodated in J&K politics.
Wishing anonymity, a senior Congress leader said that the mass resignations of over two dozen leaders were nothing but a part of the pressure tactics of Azad who is known for playing such games.
“Azad is repeating the episode of 2005 when Congress high command had almost decided to allow late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed to continue as chief minister of PDP-Congress coalition regime”, he said and recalled some loyalists of Azad had opposed the move at that time and forced the Congress high command to appoint Azad as chief minister of the coalition.
“The same episode is being repeated. The mass resignation of Azad loyalists is a clear indication that the campaign to remove Ghulam Ahmed Mir will be intensified”, he said.
As reported earlier, over dozen loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad have submitted their resignations from different posts of the party to lodge their protest against the style of functioning of Mir.
Sources said that AICC general secretary incharge and newly elected Rajya Sabha member Rajni Patil has sought details about all leaders who have submitted their resignations from party positions and posts. “Rajni Patil and Ambika Soni are in touch with G A Mir to take action against those who have submitted their resignations”, sources said, adding, “Although Ambika Soni has nothing to do with party’s affairs in J&K, she wants to settle her score with Azad”.
After she was appointed one of the members of the reconstituted disciplinary committee on Thursday Ambika Soni has become proactive to quell the dissidents in J&K |
