Another Congress Leader Quits Party, Joins Ghulam Nabi Azad's Camp

The former minister said the Azad-led party has no ties with the BJP and his relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi was personal and not political.

Jammu and Kashmir unit of Congress suffered another jolt on Sunday as its senior leader and former minister Taj Mohiuddin quit from the party and joined Ghulam Nabi Azad-led front.

He, however, made it clear that the Azad-led grouping will not ally with the BJP, but with National Conference or PDP.

"Today, I wrote to the Congress president and the general secretary and others that I am resigning from all the posts which I was holding, including the primary membership of Congress," Mohiuddin told reporters at a press conference here.

He said he will join the Azad-led party.
