Veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad quits Congress and resigns from all his posts. In a five-page letter addressed to interim Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Azad said, “It is therefore with great regret and an extremely leaden heart that I have decided to sever my half a century old association with Indian National Congress.”
Azad’s resignation comes as a jolt to the Congress that has recently seen a spree of key party leaders quitting, including Jaiveer Shergill, Kapil Sibal, Ashwani Kumar, Hardik Patel, and Sunil Jhakhar.
