Karan Singh Wants Uncertainty In The Congress To End Soon Before It Is Too Late

Veteran Congress leader Karan Singh has reportedly said he is “aghast” at the disorientation into which the party has fallen since Rahul Gandhi’s resignation, and urged the working committee to meet without delay under the chairmanship of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take necessary decisions reported PTI.

His strong remarks come amid the Congress plunging into a deep crisis after Gandhi made his decision to resign as party president public last week.

He had submitted his resignation to the CWC on 25 May which followed a spate of resignations by senior and middle-rank Congress leaders.

“I am aghast to see the confusion and disorientation into which the party has fallen since Rahul Gandhi resigned on 25 May. Instead of honouring his bold decision a month was wasted pleading him to take back his resignation,” Singh said in a statement circulated among reporters.

“I strongly urge the working committee to meet without delay, perhaps under the chairmanship of former PM Manmohan Singh and take necessary decisions,” the former Union minister said.

He also said the longer the present uncertainty remains, the more the Congress workers and voters around the country will be demoralised. “The negative cycle must be reversed before it is too late,” he said.
