Says Azad advised them to go anywhere
Jammu, Nov 19 (KNS) : Senior DPAP leader Salman Nizami reacted to few leaders rejoining Congress, calling them “deadwood,” noting that some had left the party, contested independently & are still using Azad's name but they had lost by large margins.
In a statement issued, He added that former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had told these leaders to go anywhere, as he did not want the burden of such leaders again.

Since Azad’s departure, Congress has lost 8 assembly elections and 1 Lok Sabha election.
Nizami praised Azad as a national leader with significant contributions, emphasising that the people of J&K did not fully understand his vision, a mistake they now regret.
He added that Azad will visit J&K soon, after which future strategy will be decided.(KNS)
