Srinagar, Aug 26: Omar Abdullah, the head of the National Conference, said today that Ghulam Nabi Azad’s resignation from the Congress was a blow to the party and that it was ‘sad’ and ‘frightening’ to watch the grand old party crumble.
“Long rumoured to be in the offing but a body blow to the Congress none the less. Perhaps the senior most leader to quit the party in recent times, his resignation letter makes for very painful reading,” he tweeted.
“It’s sad, and quite scary, to see the grand old party of India implode,” Omar Abdullah added.

Ghulam Nabi Azad, a senior member of the Congress, resigned from all party positions, including the primary membership, on Friday, dealing a devastating blow to the grand old party. In his letter to Sonia Gandhi, the party’s leader, Azad announced his resignation and criticised Rahul Gandhi for his “immaturity” and “demolishing the consultative system” within the party.
The senior J&K politician complimented party leader Sonia Gandhi in his five-page resignation letter and blamed the party’s ongoing losses on her son Rahul Gandhi. He added that the defeat of the Congress in the general elections in 2014 marked a turning point for the party. Since then, the party has been making efforts to resurrect itself.
