Jammu: In trouble for Congress in Jammu and Kashmir, four former ministers and three former legislators have resigned from the party’s post, saying that they have not been given the opportunity to be heard in party affairs in the Union region, the source said on Wednesday.
The leaders, who had stopped, were close to the leader of the Senior Congress of Ghulam Prophet Azad.
Those who have resigned include former Minister G M Saroori, Kishore Jugal, Vikar Rasool and Dr.
Manohar Lal.
Former legislators who have resigned from the party’s post are Gulam prophet Monga, Naresh Gupta and Amin Bhat, said the sources, added that they had sent a letter of resignation to the Chairman of the Sonia Gandhi Party, Rahul Gandhi and Secretary, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajni Patil.
The leaders demanded that the “hostile attitude” of the party’s leadership forced them to resign from all party posts and also train their weapons on the head of the unit of a Mir.
However, several other leaders at a party close to Azad, including former Tara Chand’s main minister deputy deputy, has distanced themselves from these leaders, the sources added.
In the letter, the leaders said that they tried to attract the attention of the high command party to their problems but no time given.
The leaders said they had searched for a party’s appointment from the leadership of the party for the last one year through the Memorandum media and with personal requests as well as visiting Rahul Gandhi to Srinagar and Jammu on August 2021 but they were not given time.
Attacking Mir, they accused the party to the “disaster” situation below and that a large number of Congress leaders have resigned from Congress and joined other parties while some of them chose to remain silent.
They also charge that some leaders have arrested and hijacked the function of the Congress Party in Jammu and Kashmir.
Noting that the Assembly poll can be announced soon, they say high party commands are not ready to hear their original complaints.
These sources said the High Command of Congress had explained that complaints must be ridicated through the party mechanism and not through the media.
“They tend to face disciplinary actions,” said a senior party leader.
