'Shocked to see the story...': Ghulam Nabi Azad rubbishes rumours of his comeback to Congress

After a media report speculated the possible comeback of Ghulam Nabi Azad to the Congress, he came out with a clarification, saying he does not intend to return to the grand old party.

He claimed that stories such as this are being planted by a section of leaders in the Congress itself to demoralise his supporters.

"I am shocked to see the story filed by ANI correspondent about my rejoining in congress party. Unfortunately, such stories are being planted by a section of leaders in the congress party quite now and then just to demoralise my leaders and supporters," he said in a tweet.

Further, he asked the party leadership to tell such "habitual story planters" to stop doing it.

“I don't have any ill will against Congress party and its leadership, however, I request them to tell these habitual story planters to refrain from doing so. Once again I would like to insist that this story is completely baseless!”
