Srinagar, Jul 31 (KNO): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) president, Ghulam Nabi Azad on Thursday said he was uncertain about his party's future, which recently dissolved all the committees. "Politics in Kashmir is mostly run on emotions; I have not decided yet whether to continue," he said while speaking to reporters here. Azad said anyone becoming a minister here wants to remain a minister for their entire life. "Therefore, they jump from one party to another to become the minister," he said, as reported by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO). "My politics is based on truth and non-violence. I would never speak a different language in different regions. My statements do not change,” he added. Replying to a query on uproar in the parliament by the opposition, the former Union Minister said he was against disrupting the House. The protest, he said, should be expressed through speeches. “Why disrupt the Parliament, when you are elected to the House. The opposition needs to raise the public’s issues rather than staging a walkout, which favours the government,” he said. Azad recalled the advice from former PM Indira Gandhi, saying that during his first term, he was told not to disrupt the House as nobody can become a leader by disrupting the opposition leader to speak—(KNO)
