Ghulam Nabi expels Tara Chand, 2 others from his Democratic Azad Party

Former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has expelled three senior leaders, including ex-ministers Tara Chand and Manohar Lal, from his Democratic Azad Party for anti-party activities. Azad launched the party in September after quitting Congress. "[Azad] was convinced that they were not required in the party as they were involved in anti-party activities," a party leader said.
