DPAP Units Dissolved: Azad’s Surprise Move Fuels Talk of Party Overhaul or Merger

Jammu, 14-04-2025: In a significant political development that has sent ripples across the political landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Chairman of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) and former Union Minister, has taken the decisive step of dissolving all existing organisational units of his party. This unexpected move, announced on April 14, has triggered widespread speculation about the future course of the party and its internal restructuring.

According to an official party spokesperson, the dissolution includes every functional level of the party’s structure—ranging from the State, Provincial, Zonal, District, and Block level committees to the media cell, including the chief spokesperson and all other designated spokespersons. The spokesperson clarified that the move is part of an internal reorganisation process and that all committees will be reconstituted in due course.

Azad’s move is being closely watched by political analysts and observers, who interpret it as either a prelude to a strategic overhaul aimed at strengthening the party’s grassroots network or a signal of impending political realignment at the regional or national level.
