Congress leaders seek action against Hooda, Chavan for meeting Azad

New Delhi, 1/9: As the G-23 or change-seekers plan to step up pressure ahead of Congress presidential polls, demands for taking action against senior leaders Bhupinder Hooda and Prithviraj Chavan have been made for their meeting with Ghulam Nabi Azad, days after the latter quit the party, and attacked the leadership.

 

Hooda on Thursday appeared to distance himself from the controversy saying that he has been with the Gandhi family for a long and their demands have been accepted with an election being held for the party president.

 

Congress Working Committee member Selja wants the leadership to issue a show-cause notice for meeting Azad while Overseas Congress Secretary Virender Vashisht has sought against Chavan for the meeting as well as the comments he made against former party chief Rahul Gandhi in media interactions
