Ghulam Nabi Azad’s nephew joins BJP, says was hurt by Congress’s disrespect to his uncle

Ghulam Nabi Azad’s nephew joins BJP, says was hurt by Congress’s disrespect to his uncle

India Today

Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad’s nephew, Mubashar Azad, joined the Bharataiya Janata Party on Sunday.

Mubashar Azad, nephew of veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, joined the BJP at the party’s headquarters at Trikuta Nagar in Jammu on Sunday.

J&K BJP chief Ravinder Raina, accompanied by former MLA Dalip Parihar and BJP ST Morcha president Haroon Choudhary, welcomed Mubashar Azad, the youth leader from Doda who was closely associated with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for a long time.

Welcoming the new entrants into the party fold, Ravinder Raina alleged that the parties like Congress, National Conference, and PDP did nothing but to enjoy the luxuries of power.

He said that it was only the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government that took "substantial steps" to make sure that the democracy is strengthened at the basic level in Jammu & Kashmir giving rights to every community living here. He added that the policies of the BJP leadership were being appreciated by one and all and that is the reason that almost daily, active social and political personalities were coming forward to embrace the party to serve the masses.

Raina added that these new entrants led by Mubashar Azad will not only strengthen the party in Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban and other areas but will encourage the youths from the whole region of Jammu & Kashmir to work for the nation and society.

Meanwhile, Mubashar Azad said that he was deeply hurt over the disrespect of his uncle, former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad by the present Congress leadership in Jammu & Kashmir and the Centre.
