Digital Desk: The former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Ghulam Nabi Azad, declared on Monday that the name of his new political party would be "Democratic Azad Party."
The change occurs precisely one month after Azad left the Congress party.
At a press conference held here to reveal the new party's name, Azad declared that the organisation will be democratic, secular, and free of any outside influence.
Additionally, Azad introduced the Democratic Azad Party flag. Three colours make up the flag: blue, white, and mustard.
Azad met with his leaders and employees yesterday.
Before leaving Congress, Azad declared the formation of his own political organisation with the goal of restoring full statehood in his first public speech in Jammu.
He had stated that the party's name and the flag would be chosen by the residents of Jammu & Kashmir. "I still haven't chosen a name for my party. The party's name and flag will be chosen by the citizens of J-K. My party will have a Hindustani name that everyone can understand "After ending his five-decade affiliation with the grand old party, he stated at the event.
Then he added, "My party will emphasise the restoration of complete sovereignty, the right to land, and employment to native residents."
In light of the upcoming assembly elections, Azad declared that the first branch of his political organization would be established in Jammu & Kashmir.
He added, "My party's priorities will be the restoration of complete sovereignty, the right to land, and employment to native residents."
He slammed Congress and claimed that attempts to discredit him and his supporters who defected from the party had been confined to internet tweets.
Azad stated: "We created Congress with our own blood, not with computers or Twitter. People are trying to discredit us, but they can only do so through computers and Twitter.
Congress is therefore invisible on the ground." In his first public speech, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir was in Sainik Colony in Jammu.
From 2005 to 2008, Azad served as the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir.
He specifically called out Rahul Gandhi in his resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi for the manner the party has been governed for the previous almost nine years.
Azad alleged in the frank five-page letter that Rahul Gandhi, or worse, his security guards and personal assistants, make all significant party decisions while Sonia Gandhi serves only as "a nominal leader."
Before, he served as the opposition leader in the Rajya Sabha. Azad had stated that the situation in the party has reached a "point of no return" while recalling his long affiliation with Congress.
While Azad poked fun at Sonia Gandhi in the letter, Rahul Gandhi came under the heaviest criticism. Azad called the Wayand MP a "non-serious individual" and "immature."
