Addressing the party workers in Jammu, he said the DAP will emerge strong political force in Jammu and Kashmir.
“I have started cleaning operation in the party,” Azad told reporters here on the sidelines of a function Friday evening.
Stressing that in democracy Governor rule can’t be prolonged at any cost, he called for early elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
“But here in Jammu Kashmir, we continue to live under the same and they probably want us to live on the mercy of bureaucracy,” he said.
Azad said DAP is a political forum “open for all but only merit will prevail.
“Above all I am the citizen of India and anybody from any religious and social background can come and meet me,” he said.
