| Azad refused to become JKPCC chief: Rahul Gandhi | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 14: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has made a startling disclosure that former leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad was offered presidentship of J&K Congress but he refused to accept it.
If Azad himself has refused the presidentship of the J&K Congress then why his loyalists in UT are raising this demand, this is the biggest question.
Quoting Rahul Gandhi, outspoken Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut in an article revealed that Gandhi siblings never disrespected Azad.
“Rahul Gandhi said he never disrespected him. After his Rajya Sabha term ended, the party asked Azad to head the party's J&K unit but he refused that saying that the party is non-existent there.
He can become the chief minister again after the elections. But, he refused saying the Congress didn't exist there. Azad Ji has been the chief minister there and he thinks the Congress doesn't exist there,” Raut said while quoting Rahul Gandhi.
In a veiled attack on Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, Azad recently said unlike the time of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, there is no place for criticism today.
“No one is challenging the leadership. Perhaps, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Ji had given me too much freedom to question when things were going wrong. They would never mind criticism. They would not see it as offensive. Today the leadership sees it as offensive,” he told media last month.
Azad said Indira Gandhi told him to keep it up when he refused to appoint two people she recommended as general secretaries in the Youth Congress.
“When Rajiv Ji joined politics, Indira Gandhi called both of us and told Rajiv Ji that Ghulam Nabi can even say no to me, but that No doesn’t mean disobeying or disrespect, that’s for the good of the party. Today, No one is ready to listen to that no. For saying no you become nobody today,” he said in an obvious reference towards Gandhi siblings. |
