Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad resigns from all positions including primary membership of Congress Party.
In his resignation letter, Azad wrote “The entire organisational election process is a farce and a sham. At no place anywhere in the country have elections been held at any level of the organisation. Handpicked lieutenants of the AICC has been coerced to sign on lists prepared by the coterie that runs the AICC sitting in 24 Akbar Road,”.
