Congress Formed Five-Member Committee, Azad Excluded

Congress formed a five-member committee to surround the central government, Ghulam Nabi Azad did not get a place. The Congress has formed a committee to consider the ordinances issued by the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Five close leaders of the Gandhi family have been included in this committee. Whereas, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Anand Sharma are excluded. Two days ago during the meeting of the Congress Working Committee, there was a ruckus about the letter written by Ghulam Nabi Azad.

These leaders got a place in the committee

According to a release signed by party general secretary KC Venugopal on 26 August, the interim president of Congress has formed a five-member committee to discuss and formulate the party’s stance on key ordinances announced by the central government. The leaders appointed in this committee include P Chidambaram, Digvijay Singh, Jairam Ramesh, Dr Amar Singh and Gaurav Gogoi.

Jairam Ramesh has been entrusted with the responsibility of combining this committee. This committee will work to discuss the major ordinances issued by the Center and decide the party’s stand.

Azad was told ‘pro-BJP’

Let me tell you that during the CWC meeting two days ago, many members of Congress including Rahul Gandhi had written the letter to the leaders of the BJP. Azad is said to be saddened by the allegations and even then offered to resign, terming it baseless. Other leaders who wrote the letter also denied these allegations.

Trying to convince Azad also continues

After the uproar in the meeting of the Congress Working Committee, the Gandhi family has been involved in damage control. Sonia Gandhi has taken the front to persuade Ghulam Nabi Azad, who led a disgruntled faction writing the letter. Soon after the meeting, Rahul Gandhi also tried to remove the fallout from Ghulam Nabi Azad.
