Veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Monday announced the name of his own party, the ‘Democratic Azad Party’, in Jammu, exactly a month after ending his more than five-decade-long association with the grand old party last month.
Unveiling the party flag, Azad said, “Mustard colour indicates creativity and unity in diversity, white indicates peace and blue indicates freedom, open space, imagination and limits from the depths of the ocean to the heights of the sky.”
The development comes a day after the former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister held meetings with his workers and leaders.
Earlier, Azad, in his first public meeting in Jammu after quitting the Sonia Gandhi-led party, had announced to launch of his own political outfit that will focus on the restoration of full statehood.
He had said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will decide the name and the flag for the party. “My party will focus on the restoration of full statehood, right to land, and employment to native domicile,” he added then.
