| After Digvijay’s remarks, Antony’s son “destroys” Rahul Gandhi’s Yatra | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 25: While Congress leadership was busy in fire-fighting after former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh’s irresponsible remarks on surgical strike, Anil Antony son of party stalwart A K Antony “razed” Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra on its last phase.
Anil Antony not only resigned from all posts of the Congress party but also made an indirect attack on Rahul Gandhi for spreading the message of love during the Yatra.
A day after opposing the two-part BBC documentary on PM Modi, former Kerala Chief Minister AK Antony’s son Anil has resigned from all Congress roles.
Anil wrote on Twitter, “I have resigned from my roles in @incindia @INCKerala. Intolerant calls to retract a tweet, by those fighting for free speech. I refused. @facebook wall of hate/abuses by ones supporting a trek to promote love! Hypocrisy thy name is! Life goes on. Redacted resignation letter below”.
Anil thanked veteran Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for his support during his tenure as the Kerala Congress digital media convenor. In his resignation letter, Anil took a jibe at some of his colleagues and mentioned, “I am sure that I have my own unique strengths which could have enabled me to contribute very effectively to the party in several ways. However, by now I have been made well aware that you, your colleagues, and the coterie around the leadership are only keen to work with a bunch of sycophants and chamchas, who would unquestionably be at your beck and call. This has become the lone criterion of merit. Sadly, we don’t have much common ground”.
On Tuesday, the controversial BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots when Prime Minister Narendra Modi helmed the western state was screened across Kerala by various political organizations, including the pro-Left Students Federation of India (SFI) amid protests by the BJP youth wing.
The BBC’s “India: The Modi Question” screening prompted protest marches by the BJP’s Yuva Morcha across Kerala. However, support came in for the BJP from unexpected quarters as former Kerala CM AK Antony’s son, Anil, voiced displeasure against the docu-series. |
