Gulam Nabi Azad was one of the signatories to the letter sent to party boss Sonia Gandhi approaching her for ‘major developments’ in Congress.
Raising their voice once again against the steady decay of Congress, senior pioneers Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal on Thursday said the gathering must hold decisions to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) and key authoritative posts of state bosses in case it keeps on sitting “in the Opposition for the following 50 years”.
Azad, who was one of the signatories to the letter sent to party boss Sonia Gandhi approaching her for “far-reaching developments” in Congress, stated, “For the last numerous decades, we don’t host chose bodies in the get-together. Possibly we ought to have pushed for it 10-15 yrs back. Presently we are losing a great many races. If we need to return, we have to fortify our gathering by holding decisions.”
“If my gathering needs to be in resistance for the following 50 years, at that point there is no requirement for decisions inside the gathering,” he told news organization ANI.
A gathering veteran from Sanjay Gandhi days, Azad is the pioneer of restriction in Rajya Sabha, and his term closes in February 2021. He likewise drove the gathering effectively in the 2002 Assembly political decision in Jammu and Kashmir.

“Those office-conveyors or state unit presidents or square area presidents who assault our proposition realize that they will be no place when decisions occur. Whoever has truly put resources into the Congress will invite the letter. I have said that State, locale and square leader of the gathering ought to be chosen by the gathering labourers,” he said.
“A political decision has the advantage that when you battle races, in any event, your gathering is per content behind you. At this moment, the individual who becomes president probably won’t have oper content uphold. On the off chance that CWC individuals are chosen, at that PO,int they can’t be taken out. So what is the issue,” Ghulam Nabi Azad told ANI.
Sibal, in a meeting to Hindustan Times, stated, “If individuals approach the letter, they will realize it’s anything but an endeavour to put down anybody, including the Gandhi family. Indeed, we have valued the administrations delivered by the initiative up to this point.”
“The Congress party is at a noteworthy low and the political decision aftereffects of 2014 and 2019 mirror that,” Sibal included.
The letter written to Sonia Gandhi by 23 Congress, pioneers including MPs and previous pastors, called for clearing changes, reasonable inside races, aggregate dynamic and a full-time party boss.
News 18 had before detailed that during the CWC meeting on Monday, senior pioneers took on the letter journalists, including Azad, asking them what their simple goal was recorded as a hard copy the note. They were asked for what valid reason they couldn’t talk about this at party gatherings. At the point when they answered that meetings were not held, promptly a rundown of the number of groups called by Sonia Gandhi was perused out.
In any case, Sonia Gandhi purportedly connected with Azad after the gathering and guaranteed him that his interests would be tended to.
