Welcoming them along with 15 other leaders , who have rejoined the party, Venugopal said, “We are very happy that they have rejoined the Congress. This is only the beginning ahead of the Bharat Jodo Yatra entering into Jammu and Kashmir.”

Sayed said, “I made a mistake. I apologise to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. I have returned to my family after living outside for two months. I am thankful to the party for forgiving my mistake.”
