USAID row: Congress slams BJP, demands white paper
The grand old party also said that the “white paper” should not only focus on USAID funding, but all such agencies which fund both Governments, individuals and all other entities under Indian law.
Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said that she is confident that the party will be strengthened under the leadership of new chief Mallikarjun Kharge. She said Kharge will successfully deal with the challenges faced by the party and take it forward.
Taking to a microblogging site, Sonia Gandhi added, “There are many challenges before our party today. The biggest challenge is that today a crisis of democratic values has arisen in front of the country, how do we deal with it successfully.”

Sonia Gandhi was speaking at an event where Kharge formally took over as the Congress president. Gandhi said she was relieved at relinquishing the mantle of party presidency after shouldering the responsibility for years.

आपने इतने वर्षों तक जो प्यार, सम्मान दिया है, यह मेरे लिए गौरव की बात है।
