He further said, “We knew he would resign, had been having these talks for the past two months. Ghulam Nabi Azad was pushed against the wall by the party’s high command, he had no choice but to quit the party and its primary membership.”
Earlier today, Senior Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad resigned from all the posts of congress in a letter to Sonia Gandhi.
Following the resignation, a series of reactions arise from the congress leadership.
Reacting to the resignation of senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad’s resignation from all the positions of the party, Jairam Ramesh, AICC general secretary termed the resignation as “unfortunate”.
In a joint press conference held at party headquarters here, Ramesh and senior Congress leader and former minister Ajay Maken said, “We have read the letter of veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad that has been released to the media.”
Later, Jai Ram Ramesh targeting Ghulam Nabi Azad tweeted, “The person whom the Congress leadership respected the most, that person has shown his true character by making a personal attack on the Congress leadership. First Modi’s tears in Parliament, then Padma Vibhushan, then the extension of the house… It’s not a coincidence, it’s cooperation!”
जिस व्यक्ति को कांग्रेस नेतृत्व ने सबसे ज़्यादा सम्मान दिया, उसी व्यक्ति ने कांग्रेस नेतृत्व पर व्यक्तिगत आक्रमण करके अपने असली चरित्र को दर्शाया है।
पहले संसद में मोदी के आंसू, फिर पद्म विभूषण, फिर मकान का एक्सटेंशन…
यह संयोग नहीं सहयोग है !
