Sharma’s resignation came on the heels of Ghulam Nabi Azad who stood down as the party’s J&K campaign committee head. Azad conveyed his decision to the party leadership, sources said. His resignation came as a surprise, since he was part of many important decisions the party has recently taken. He also took part in the Gaurav Yatra and addressed a press conference when Sonia Gandhi was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Herald Newspaper case. Both Sharma and Azad belong to the G-3 group of the party. The group wants changes in the Congress.
