Aug 26, 2022

New Delhi, Aug 26 (ANI): Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad in a letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi on August 26 resigned from all positions of the Congress party including the primary membership of the party. “The Indian National Congress has lost both the will and the ability under the tutelage of the coterie that runs the AICC to fight for what is right for India,” wrote Azad in his resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi. This development comes just weeks after Azad resigned from the post of Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress campaign committee, just hours after he was given the appointment. According to sources, Azad had refused to assume the post of Chairman of the campaign committee citing ‘health reason’ and had conveyed the same to the Congress leadership, thanking them for the responsibility. Ghulam Nabi Azad is among the group of 23 leaders who were vocal about a leadership change in the Congress and not being dependent on the Gandhi family for every major decision of the Congress party.
