Former Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, who quit the Congress last week and has decided to float a political party, will hold a public meeting on Sunday at Sainik Colony in Jammu.
This will be his first meeting since he snapped his nearly 50-year-long association with Congress. The public meeting is scheduled for 11 am.
Mr Azad has said he will launch a new party soon and the first unit will be formed in Jammu and Kashmir in view of impending assembly polls. Mr Azad was Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 2005 to 2008.
With Mr Azad signalling that he will float a new party, several leaders have resigned from the Congress in Jammu and Kashmir.
Former Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand is among 64 leaders who have resigned from the Congress. (ANI)
