The meeting came soon after Azad’s resignation from all posts in Congress. Azad’s decision to form a political party also holds importance as the Valley is likely to go to polls later this year.
“Under the leadership of Azad Ji we will launch a national party and the work will begin from Jammu and Kashmir. Azad Ji will go to J&K and will form an alliance with like-minded parties and leaders. All the criticism coming Azad Ji’s way will be answered by winning elections,” ex- Congress leader Salman Nizami had earlier announced.
