‘Sankalp Shivar’ : Azad loyalists skip event, J&K Cong serves show-cause notice
Jammu, June 4 :The factionalism in the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee is now in the public domain as the two day ‘Sankalp Shivar’ was not attended by the loyalists of senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, which prompted the party functionaries to serve show cause notice to them.
A two-day ‘Nav Sankalp Shivar’ was organised at Patnitop Hills in Udhampur district, which was chaired by the AICC leader and In-charge J&K Affairs Rajni Patil.
“The Azad loyalists have been served show-cause notices for skipping ‘Nav Sankalp Shivar’ at Patnitop,” party sources said.
They said two separate notices were served to former MLAs for attending a private party in Srinagar instead of the Congress’s official programme in Patnitop.
They said the Congress leaders have been told to clear their stand in two weeks otherwise they will have to face a disciplinary action.
Notably, in November last year, 24 leaders including former ministers, former legislators and office bearers from the “group” of veteran leader Ghulam Nabi Azad revolted against the PCC chief Ghulam Ahmad Mir and resigned from their organisational posts.
