The CWC meeting is to be held at a time when leaders like Sushmita Dev, Jitin Prasada, Luizinho Faleiro and many others have left the Congress and joined other parties in the last few months. Recently G-23 group leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal demanded that the CWC meeting be called at the earliest. Azad had written a letter in this regard to Interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
Kapil Sibal had earlier said, “In our party, there is no president. So we don’t know who is taking these decisions. We know and yet we don’t know. CWC meeting should be called immediately so that we can do it.” A dialogue about the things we can’t speak publicly about and know why we’re in this situation.” Sibal had also raised questions on the party leadership following which several Congress workers demonstrated outside his residence and raised slogans against him.
