Some Members of Congress' 'Group of 23' Dissenters Meet Ghulam Nabi Azad for Tea on Farewell Day

News 18  

On the day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a teary-eyed farewell to Congress senior leader and veteran Ghulam Nabi Azad in the Rajya Sabha, a few among the INC’s ‘group of 23’ dissenters met Azad for a cup of tea in the evening. Among those who met Azad were former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Congress Loksabha MPs Manish Tewari and Shashi Tharoor, former Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan, and Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Tankha. When asked about Modi’s praise of Azad in the Rajya Sabha, a Congress MP said the PM’s motive “might be to increase the discord within the Congress party”. The group includes five former chief ministers, sitting MPs Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari, members of Congress Working Committee and over a dozen former union ministers with years of political experience.
