Congress hits back at Ghulam Nabi Azad…

Says ‘CONTENT of his Letter not factual!

On Friday, The Congress central leadership hit back minutes after its senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad resigned from all party positions and blamed Rahul Gandhi for causing serious damage to the party. 

Reacting to his resignation, Congress general secretary and national spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said, “It is unfortunate, regrettable that this happened when the organisation is combating BJP on price rise, unemployment among other issues.”

Congress also questioned the time of Azad's resignation saying, “Content of Ghulam Nabi Azad's letter is not factual, timing is awful.” Acknowledging that Ghulam Nabi Azad was a senior party leader, Congress said that it was “saddening that he quit when the party was fighting against inflation and polarisation.”

As per the information, In his resignation letter, he said, "Unfortunately, the situation in the Congress party has reached such a point of no return that now "proxies are being propped up to take over the leadership of the party. This experiment is doomed to fail because the party has been so comprehensively destroyed that the situation has become irretrievable. Moreover, the `chosen one` would be nothing more than a puppet on a string."

He said at the national level Congress has conceded the political space available to the BJP and state-level space to regional parties. "This all happened because the leadership in the past eight years has tried to foist a non-serious individual at the helm of the party," he alleged without taking the name of Rahul Gandhi.

Further, Azad alleged that in August 2020 when he and 22 other senior colleagues, including former Union Ministers and Chief Ministers wrote to Sonia Gandhi to flag the abysmal drift in the party, the "coterie" choose to "unleash its sycophants on us and got us attacked, vilified and humiliated in the crudest manner possible".

He said that the only crime committed by the 23 senior leaders, who wrote that letter out of concern for the party, is that they pointed out the reasons for the weaknesses in the party and the remedies thereof.
