Party insiders stated that it was expected that senior AICC leader and former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad might attend the meeting after he has been given key responsibility in powerful -- Political Affairs Group by party high command but not Azad neither his loyal leader turned up for the ‘Chintan Shivir’. Moreover, in the last assembly Congress party had 12 elected MLA’s in the house, and out of them only one MLA from Kashmir region remained present in the meeting while 11 preferred to skip the important organizational meeting.
