In November 2021, 24 party members had submitted their resignations from their posts and raised a banner of revolt against Ghulam Ahmed Mir.
They had accused Mir of failing to provide an able leadership to the party in the Union territory and to steer the party to victory in any of the elections held since the last Lok Sabha polls, including the District Development Council (DDC) polls which were held for the first time in Jammu and Kashmir after the reading down of Article 370.
The Congress high-command had accepted the resignations of the members including vice presidents G.M. Saroori, Gulam Nabi Monga and Mohammad Anwar Bhat, and DCC president in-charge Budgam Zahid Hussain Jan. |
