New Delhi: A day after Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad blamed party’s “five-star culture”, Congress asked the “nominated” senior leaders to refrain from speaking publicly on internal issues.
“The nominated senior leaders have access to the party leadership. Mr Azad is a CWC nominated member who can just pick up the phone and call anybody instead of speaking publicly,” Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, while addressing a virtual news conference, said.
“These leaders had taught us discipline and how to work in the organisation. So, today when they speak in public, we are shocked. All platforms are available within the party. They are also members of the CWC (Congress Working Committee), nominated members since many years. They have also been ministers in governments and got different responsibilities in the party. They should maintain discipline and refrain from going public on internal issues,” Khera added.
According to Khera, Congress has an internal system to discuss all issues. “Last week, there was a meeting where the results of Bihar and other states were discussed in detail. Discussions do happen,” he said.
