| At crucial time “Tara Chand & Co” missing from Congress’s protests | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 29: Like other parts of the country, the J&K unit of Congress is holding protests against the disqualification of party leader Rahul Gandhi as a member of the Lok Sabha but ex-loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad are conspicuously missing from the actions.
The conspicuous absence of “Tara Chand & Co” at this crucial time when the party is fighting a battle against the ruling BJP has raised many eyebrows within the Congress party. Sources said that all Congress leaders including Tara Chand and other ex-loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad were especially asked to attend Satyagrah in front of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Satwari Chowk on March 26 but they preferred to skip this important programme. Rahul Gandhi has been disqualified from the Lok Sabha, a day after he was convicted in a defamation case by a Surat court. A notice issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat said he stood disqualified from the House from March 23, the day of his conviction. Rahul Gandhi has to now move to a higher court and get his conviction to stay.
On March 23, Gandhi was held guilty and sentenced to two years in jail by a Surat court in a 2019 defamation case, over his remarks about the “Modi” surname. The conviction triggered the process of his disqualification as a lawmaker.
Since March 23, Congress leaders across the J&K have been holding protests against the BJP government but ex-loyalists who rejoined Congress in January have not joined any protest so far.
As reported earlier, at least seventeen loyalists of Ghulam Nabi Azad, including two political stalwarts who were expelled from the Democratic Azad Party (DAP), rejoined the Congress party in New Delhi on January 6, 2023.
Former Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand along with former J&K Congress chief Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed, ex-MLA Thakur Balwan Singh, and others rejoined the Congress party.
The leaders had resigned in support of former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, who later floated his own party the Democratic Azad Party, now renamed Democratic Progressive Azad Party. |
