| Cong constitutes disciplinary panel to deal with Azad loyalists | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 18: Within hours after two dozen loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad raised a banner of revolt against Jammu and Kashmir Congress Committee chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir, the All India Congress Committee on Thursday reconstituted the disciplinary committee to “quell the rebels”.
Congress is facing revolt in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Rajasthan during the last some months. And, now J&K is also added into the last of the states where the party is battling with dissidents.
Sources in Congress said that aim of reconstituting the disciplinary panel is to deal with Azad loyalists because party high command has included Ambika Soni in the committee who was earlier incharge of J&K affairs of the party.
“Ambika Soni is known for her rivalry with Azad so she will not tolerate indiscipline by his (Azad’s) loyalists in J&K”, a source said.
Resignations of almost all loyalists of Azad, except former Deputy Chief Minister, Tara Chand, have stunned Congress leadership because party high command had not expected such action from dissidents. The reconstituted disciplinary committee will be headed by the veteran leader and former defence minister A K Antony who has been appointed as its chairman. The five-member All India Congress Committee (AICC) panel includes former union minister Ambika Soni and senior leader Tariq Anwar.
“The Congress president has reconstituted the disciplinary action committee of AICC with immediate effect. A K Antony will be its chairman and Tariq Anwar will be its member secretary,” official communication from the party said.
Former Delhi MP Jai Parkash Aggarwal and G Parameswar are the other members of the all-important panel.
Sources in Congress said that the high command is going to take action against Azad loyalists because central leadership has already decided to give free hand to Ghulam Ahmed Mir in the coming assembly elections. “Inclusion of Ambika Soni in the disciplinary panel is a clear indication that high command is not going to succumb before pressure tactics of Azad loyalists”, a source said. |
