Kashmir, 6/1: Seventeen Jammu and Kashmir leaders who left with Ghulam Nabi Azad three months ago returned to the Congress on Friday after they felt they were being “taken on a wrong path abandoning secularism”, but the party appeared in no hurry to open the doors to the veteran leader who has attacked Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
Even as Azad’s close aides returned to the party, a top party functionary told DH that Azad is welcome to join the Bharat Jodo Yatra if he believes in Congress ideology but the question of returning to the party is a “no go area at present”.
