2 former ministers to rejoin Congress today

Srinagar, June 27: In a significant political development, two senior leaders and former ministers, Taj Mohiuddin and Ghulam Mohammad Saroori, are set to rejoin Congress on Friday.

Sources said that the duo are returning to the party today.

Both leaders had parted ways with the Congress following the launch of Ghulam Nabi Azad’s Democratic Progressive Azad Party. However they stayed for a brief period there and contested the 2024 Assembly elections as independent candidates.

This rejoining comes on the heels of other prominent political figures—Choudhary Guzlar Khatana and Muhammad Amin Bhat—also returning to the Congress fold, boosting the party’s prospects in south Kashmir where National Conference (NC) won 10 of 16 seats in the 2024 elections. (KNO)
