People of J&K will decide the name and flag of my party: Ghulam Nabi Azad

Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and senior leader who recently left the Congress, addressed a public meeting in Sainik Colony, Jammu today. Addressing his supporters, he said that he stands with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Azad, the 73-year-old veteran leader of the state, was likely to announce the formation and name of his new political party today. He talked about the formation of his party but did not announce its name.

Azad said that, I have not decided the name for my party yet. The people of Jammu and Kashmir will decide the name and flag of the party. I will give a Hindustani name to my party that everyone can understand. My party will focus on the restoration of full statehood, right to land and employment to the natives.

Azad had said last week that he would soon start a new party. He had said that the first unit of the party would be formed in Jammu and Kashmir, where elections are to be held.

Ghulam Nabi Azad said that Congress was made of our blood, not from computer, not from Twitter. People are trying to defame us but their reach is limited to computers and tweets. This is the reason why Congress is nowhere to be seen on the ground.
