Srinagar, June 28 -- Two former ministers Taj Mohiuddin and GM Saroori quit Ghulam Nabi Azad's Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) and rejoined the Congress in Srinagar on Friday. Both had joined Azad's party two years ago. The rejoining of two senior leaders - one from Kashmir and another from Jammu region - comes days after dozens of leaders who had brief tenure in the DPAP rejoined the Congress. Two-time former legislator Taj Mohiuddin, a prominent Gujjar leader and former minister and currently the District Development Council member from Uri, contested last year's assembly polls unsuccessfully. Mohiuddin was with the Congress for decades. In 2023, he was named DPAP's treasurer after he joined former J&K chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's party. GM Saroori was also an old Congress leader but was considered close to Azad. Though he contested the last assembly elections as an independent from Inderwal in Doda, he lost by a narrow margin. Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra said these leaders, who had quit the party, had requested for rejoining. "They are strong leaders and will work to strengthen the party not only in J&K but their native places," he said. Taj Mohiuddin said he regretted leaving the Congress earlier. "It's like homecoming," he said. Saroori said, "I will do everything to make Congress strong." Another leader, Farooq Mir who is vice-chairman of the District Development Council, Kupwara, also rejoined the party. After leaving the Congress, he joined Peoples Conference and then unsuccessfully contested last year's assembly election as an independent candidate. Last month, former two-time legislator Mohammad Amin Bhat, a close associate of Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) chief Ghulam Nabi Azad, had rejoined the Congress. Bhat had resigned from DPAP and made the switch at a function in Anantnag....
