| Disorganized Cong acts weird, dead man enters party panel | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 2: In what could be termed as a glaring example of widening gulf between party high command and a common leader, Congress party has chosen a dead political leader as a member in the panel to shortlist and select candidates for the forthcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Senior Congress leader Chaudhary Mohammad Aslam breathed his last this year in June but surprisingly the order copy issued by Congress High Command and signed by Congress president Sonia Gandhi contains the name of Aslam as a member to select the candidates from Congress party for Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. This has caused discomfort to his family.
"This clearly indicates the widening gap between party top brass and common workers. The people who are at the helm of affairs in Congress party are ignorant about ground situation and they even don't know who is who in the party at State level," said one of the relatives of Aslam, adding that it is shocking that Congress High Command doesn't know about a person (Chaudhary Mohammad Aslam) who is no more.
A Congress leader said that it was a typo error, which should not be taken so seriously.
Pertinently, Chaudhary Mohammad Aslam was the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader when he died in June this year. Surprisingly, even when Congress party corrected the press note, they just removed Aslam's name, but retained CLP leader, little knowing that after Aslam's departure, nobody has been yet nominated as CLP leader in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
Chaudhary Mohammad Aslam hailing from Poonch remained J&K Pradesh Congress Committee chief for 17 years. He was 70 at the time of his death. |
