SRINAGAR: Two former Jammu and Kashmir ministers on Friday returned to the Congress party after a brief stint with Ghulam Nabi Azad-led Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP).<\/p>\n

Taj Mohiuddin and Ghulam Mohammad Saroori rejoined the Congress at the party office here.<\/p>\n

They were welcomed back to the party by All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in charge of J&K and Ladakh Naseer Hussain, Union Territory party chief Tariq Hamid Karra and other senior leaders.<\/p>\n

Mohiuddin, a former legislator from the Uri assembly segment in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, quit the Congress in August 2022 to join the DPAP when Azad quit the Congress.<\/p>\n

Later in August 2024, Mohiuddin quit the DPAP and unsuccessfully contested the assembly polls last year as an Independent candidate.<\/p>\n

Saroori, who also quit the Congress in August 2022 to join the DPAP, left Azad’s party after he was denied a mandate to contest from Inderwal. He unsuccessfully contested the seat.<\/p>\n
