\n

The Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) on Sunday, August 18, issued a statement accusing Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Congress leaders of spreading rumours that the party chairman, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and his party members were joining Congress ahead of the Assembly elections 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Refuting these claims, the Azad Party chief spokesperson Salman Nizami issued a notice declaring that \u201crumours are being spread by Congress leaders of Jammu & Kashmir for the last two weeks that Mr. Ghulam Nabi Azad and his party is joining Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The chief spokesperson said, \u201cIt is also being spread that Mr. Azad was approached by the Central Congress leadership to join the Congress Party. As chief spokesperson of DPAP, let me make it clear, on behalf of the party Chairman, that ever since Mr. Azad has left Congress Party, neither Mr. Azad has approached any congress leader nor any congress leader has ever approached Mr. Azad directly or telephonically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Terming these rumours \u201ctotally baseless and false,\u201d Salman Nizami launched a scathing attack on the opposition and accused the Congress of creating confusion to break DPAP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Warning against the misinformation, he further mentioned that the party chairman has requested all Azad Party leaders and workers to abstain from falling into this trap. Dismissing these rumours, Salman Nizami said that Ghulam Nabi Azad has requested the media persons not to give any importance to these rumours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
