Congress issues gag order on senior leaders | The Congress party has issued a circular asking its top leaders not to speak out of turn. All India Congress Committee (AICC)
General Secretary Janardhan Dwivedi has formally written to all AICC office bearers
and Congress Working Committee (CWC) members saying that they should express their
views publically or interact with the media whenever necessary only on areas of
their responsibility. He has also asked them to ensure the norm is observed at
every level of the party. The gag order is reported to have been issued in the
wake of Congress general secretary accusing Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram
of "intellectual arrogance" in dealing with issues such as Naxalism In a column
for the Economic times, Singh had accused Chidambaram of being intellectually
arrogant and adopting a counterproductive policy. Later speaking to NDTV, Singh
said he stood by the comments he made. The Congress has reaffirmed that what Digvijaya
said did not contradict its views. |
