New Delhi: “We are a large family. We have differences and different views on many occasions, but in the end, we come together as one. The need of the hour is to fight for the cause of the people and the forces that are failing this country. Organisational issues are always addressed and the process of constitution and reconstitution is a continuous one,” Sonia Gandhi has said.
As the Congress Working Committee unanimously resolved to ask Sonia Gandhi to continue as party chief till an AICC session is convened to elect the new president, she said she does not hold any ill-will towards those who wrote the letter because she treats them as part of the family irrespective of howsoever hurtful the remarks made today or in the past of any colleague may have been.
After the seven-hour-long stormy meeting of its Working Committee on Monday, the Congress acknowledged the letter sent to president Sonia Gandhi by 23 senior leaders calling for sweeping changes in the party but neither discussed its contents nor gave any specific commitments on the way forward.
Significantly, the resolution after the meeting said that the “two voices that have been at the forefront of exposing the government” are of Sonia and Rahul.
