Choudhary, a District Development Council (DDC) member, stated that the protesters are on the streets to express their anger.
Adding that Rahul and Sonia Gandhi are the “real leaders” of the party, Choudhary reportedly said, “We are foot soldiers of the party and anyone conspiring against the party leadership will have to face our anger.”
Ghulam Ahmad Mir, the chief of Congress in Jammu & Kashmir, has been called to Delhi to discuss the protests, and told ANI that he is “dismayed” over Azad’s ‘doublespeak’, praising the prime minister in Jammu, reported IANS.
Ghulam Nabi Azad on Sunday, 28 February, lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi as someone who “does not hide his true self.” Azad, according to media reports, was speaking at a function organised by Gurjar Desh Charitable Trust in Jammu.
In his speech, the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister went on to draw parallels between himself and the PM, despite them being “political rivals”.
Azad also said that those who hide their true selves are living in a bubble, and that a person should be proud (of his reality).
