As reported earlier, the old guards of the party were not ready to allow these leaders to give space for these new entrants in the party.
According to an official handout issued by the party, a “heroic welcome” was accorded to Yash Pal Kundal, T.S. Tony, Haji Rashid, Naresh Gupta, Sham Lal Bhagat and others by the Congress party at party headquarters.
Vikar Rasool Wani while welcoming them to the Congress party said that AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge accepted the suggestion of the Pradesh Congress Committee in consultation with AICC Incharge J&K Rajni Patil and AICC General Secretary I/C Organization K.C.Venugopal, to admit those who were desirous of joining the mission of Congress party to serve the people of the state and strengthen the unity and integrity of all regions of Jammu and Kashmir. |
