New Delhi: Addressing Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, Interim Chairman Sonia Gandhi Reprimanded the party leaders for talking to the media on Saturday.
In his opening remarks, he said: “I’ve always appreciated clarity. There’s no need to talk me through the media. So let’s all have a free and honest discussion. But what about outside the four walls of this room? What should be communicated is the collective decision of the CWC.”
Sonia Gandhi’s statement came after senior party leader Kapil Sibal Said recently that “we have no president in our party, so we don’t know who is taking all the decisions. We know it, yet we don’t know, a senior colleague of mine might have written or is about to write.” Asked the interim chairman to immediately convene a meeting of the CWC so that talks can be started.”
In his remarks on Saturday, he also said that the party is ready for internal elections.
“The whole organization wants the revival of the Congress. But it requires unity and the interests of the party to be paramount. Above all, it requires self-control and discipline. I am fully aware of the fact that I belong to the Congress. I have been interim president. The CWC asked me to return to this capacity in 2019. After this, you will remember, we finalized a roadmap for the election of a regular president by June 30, 2021.”
But due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, this deadline was extended indefinitely by the CWC in its meeting held on May 10, he said.
“Today is an opportunity to bring clarity once and for all. The schedule of full organizational elections is before you.”
He also praised the young leaders for taking up leadership roles.
“In the last two years, a large number of our colleagues, especially the youth, have taken leadership roles in taking the policies and programs of the party to the people, be it farmers’ movement, provision of relief during pandemic, issues Concerns of youth and women, atrocities on Dalits, tribals and minorities, price rise and destruction of public sector. We have never allowed issues of public importance and concern to go unresolved.”

He said that despite the government’s propaganda, the economy still remains a matter of great concern and it seems that the Center has the only answer to sell the national assets built up with great efforts over the decades for the economic recovery of the country.
“The public sector not only has strategic and economic objectives, it also has social goals, for example, empowerment of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and development of backward areas. But all this is under threat with the Modi government’s single – ‘Sell The agenda of ‘Beechho, Beach’.”
He said that the prices of essential commodities including food and fuel are increasing continuously.
“Can anyone in the country ever think that petrol will cost more than Rs 100 per litre, diesel will be close to Rs 100 per litre, a gas cylinder will cost Rs 900 and cooking oil will cost Rs 200 per litre? It is making life unbearable for people across the country.”
Sonia Gandhi also condemned the killings in Jammu and Kashmir and said that minorities have been clearly targeted.
“It should be strongly condemned. We have done it and I do it again this morning. Jammu and Kashmir has been a union territory for two years. It is the entire responsibility of the Center to bring justice to the perpetrators of these barbaric crimes.” Of the government. Restoring social peace and harmony and trust among the people in Jammu and Kashmir is also with the Modi government.
“There has always been a broad consensus on foreign and neighborhood policy in our country. But that consensus has been damaged by the Prime Minister’s reluctance to take the opposition into confidence in any meaningful way. Foreign policy has become a diabolical instrument of election. There has been mobilization and polarization. We face serious challenges on our borders and on other fronts. The Prime Minister told the opposition leaders last year that there has been no occupation of our territory by China and since then their silence on our country Added.
Congress faces many challenges but, “if we are united, if we are disciplined and if we focus on the interests of the party alone, I am sure we will do well”.
