Srinagar, September 26, 2022 (PPI-OT):Former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad announced his new political party ‘Democratic Azad Party’ on Monday and also released his party flag. However, his opponents said that Democratic Azad Party is a BJP version in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The development comes a month after Azad parted his ways with Congress to reportedly work for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing a press conference, he said, “I wish to express my gratitude to the local and national media. We will have independent thinking and ideology and it will be a democratic party. We won’t make Article 370 an election issue.”
“Our priority will be to register our party. Elections can take place at any time. We will continue our political activities,” former Congress leader said.
The colours of Azad’s party flag are blue, white, and yellow.
His opponents say that Azad’s stance on Article 370 is a strong proof that he has been launched by the BJP to divide the Muslim votes in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, especially in Chenab valley and other parts of Jammu region.
