(Riya Singh, Intern Journalist): Nine expelled Congress leaders have written to party president Sonia Gandhi, asking her to “rise above the affinity for the family (parivaar ke moh)” and run the organization by establishing mutual trust and restoring the constitutional and democratic values.
In the letter dated September 2 and addressed to Gandhi, the nine Congress leaders, including former MP Santosh Singh and former minister Satyadev Tripathi, said “At a time, when the country’s democratic values and social fabric is lying scattered, the need of the country is that Congress remain alive, dynamic and strong. You please rise above the affinity for the family, and as per traditions, restore the expression of thoughts, constitutional and democratic values, and run the organization by establishing communication and mutual trust,”. “If you deviate from your responsibility, then Congress will become a thing of the past,” they said.
They also said the “height of insensitivity” can be gauged from the fact that the party president does not know about the incidents taking place in the organization or is keeping the eyes shut “despite knowing everything”.
The leaders who signed the letter are Siraj Mehdi (former MLC), Bhoodhar Narayan Mishra (former MLA), Vinod Chaudhary (former MLA), Nek Chandra Pandey (former MLA), Swayam Prakash Goswami (former chairman of Youth Congress), Rajendra Singh Solanki and Sanjeev Singh.
