In a surprising development, Mehboob Mustafa Batt, the nephew of former senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, has resigned from his party, the Democratic Progressive Azad Party. The announcement was made by Batt in a Facebook post, where he stated that he was resigning along with hundreds of leaders and supporters from the Kashmir Province.
Batt’s resignation comes as a blow to the Democratic Progressive Azad Party, which was formed by Ghulam Nabi Azad after his departure from the Congress party last year. The party had been gaining support in the region, with many hoping that it would emerge as a viable alternative to the traditional parties.
In his Facebook post, Batt cited “personal reasons” for his resignation, but did not elaborate further. He also thanked his supporters and colleagues for their “unwavering support” during his time in the party.
The resignation of Batt and other leaders from the Kashmir Province is likely to have an impact on the party’s prospects in the region. However, it remains to be seen how significant this impact will be, as the party is still relatively new and has not yet established a strong presence in the region.
Meanwhile, there has been no comment from the leadership of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party on Batt’s resignation. It is unclear whether this development will lead to any changes in the party’s leadership or strategy going forward.
