Srinagar: In a huge embarrassment for the moderate faction of Hurriyat Conference in Jammu & Kashmir , 13 of its members including senior leader Yaqoob Vakil have decided to jump ship and join Congress.
Awami Action Committee led by Mirwaiz Umer Farooq has suffered a huge setback with its members leaving the party and joining rival Congress.
