THE CONGRESS STEPPED UP ITS CRITICISM OF GHULAM NABI AZAD AS THE J&K LEADER
BLAMED RAHUL GANDHI FOR HIS EXIT FROM THE PARTY.



Former J&K chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's memoir Azaad was released on
Wednesday in the presence of many politicians including Congress's Anand Sharma,
NCP leader Supriya Sule, DMK's Kanimozhi, AAP's Sanjay Singh. What preceded the
book launch was an attack and counterattack between Congress leaders and Ghulam
Nabi Azad similar to when Azad left the Congress. In interviews ahead of the
book release, Ghulam Nabi Azad criticised Rahul Gandhi and the Congress
leadership which the Congress leaders took head-on. Read | I won’t consider
myself an Oppn leader, I will stay neutral: Ghulam Nabi Azad

Ghulam Nabi Azad said Rahul Gandhi is the reason for many exits from the
Congress.


As Ghulam Nabi Azad criticised the Congress and praised PM Modi's leadership,
Congress leaders referred to the fact that Ghulam Nabi Azad has been allowed to
stay in his government bungalow in Delhi even after his retirement from
Parliament. "Achhe khase Azad the -- don't know what was the compulsion to
become a ghulam," Congress's Supriya Shrinate said. Read | Ex-Cong leader calls

Congress's Pawan Khera asked whether Ghulam Nabi Azad spoke even a word on the
Adani issue. "When he left the party, he said he became free but after listening
to his comments in the past two days, it is clear that he became ghulam," Pawan
Khera said. Read | 'Crutches of BJP and Modiji': Digvijaya Singh's message for
Ghulam ‘bhaijaan’




Congress MP KC Venugopal said there has been a clear-cut deal with the BJP. "If
you want something from BJP, their first condition is to abuse Rahul Gandhi,"
Venugopal said.


'RAHUL GANDHI MAIN REASON'

Ghulam Nabi Azad said Rahul Gandhi is the main reason why he is not in the
Congress. He is the reason for many exits of young and old, Ghulam Nabi said.
"Once you are in Congress, you are spineless.. you have to get operated," Ghulam
Nabi Azad said.

Citing the example of leaders rallying behind Rahul Gandhi to Surat as he filed
his appeal against his conviction in the 2019 defamation case, Ghulam Nabi Azad
said, "I don't mind if anyone goes to Surat along with Rahul Gandhi, but you
cannot force the leaders to come. But today, a whip is issued, which should not
be done forcing everyone to accompany...," he said.



Ghulam Nabi Azad said he is 2000 per cent more Congressi than those who run
politics on Twitter. But the party does not want people like him; it wants
people who are fast on Twitter and can claim that the party will get 500 seats
after the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

"I wish Rahul Gandhi would have worked 1/50th of what Indira Gandhi or Rajiv
Gandhi did, he would have succeeded," the J&K leader said.


'GOVT BUNGALOW ON THREAT PERCEPTION'

Ghulam Nabi Azad said he has been allowed to keep his government bungalow in
Delhi because of the home ministry's orders on threat perception. "I was
attacked by militants 26 times in Punjab and 16 times in Jammu and Kashmir when
I was chief minister," he said adding that he has been giving water, power and
other bills including his own security from his pension.
