Hours after high drama unfolded in Congress Working Committee meeting over Rahul Gandhi�s purported remark, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad clarified that Gandhi never said the letter by 23 party leaders was written at behest of or in collusion with BJP.
�Let me make it very clear that Rahul Gandhi at no point of time has said, either outside or in the CWC meeting, that the letter was written at the instance, or at the behest or in collusion with the BJP�.,� he said. He added that in the meeting he stated that some colleagues outside the CWC were making such claim and he would resign if they could prove it.
Congress leader Kapil Sibal had also expressed displeasure over former president Rahul Gandhi�s purported remark that the 23 dissident leaders, who had written to interim chief Sonia Gandhi on the leadership crisis, were �colluding with BJP�. However, the senior advocate later withdrew his statement following a clarification from Rahul.
Meanwhile, Sonia reiterated her unwillingness to continue as the Congress interim chief and asked the CWC to begin the process of �transition� to relieve her from her duties. And Rahul questioned the timing of the letter by 23 senior leaders, saying the letter came at a time when the party was battling a crisis in Rajasthan and the party chief was unwell.
