Sonia Gandhi will continue to be the interim president of the Congress until the All India Congress Committee holds its next session, the Congress Working Committee said in resolution on Monday, after a marathon virtual meeting. The seven hour meeting witnessed high drama with Ms. Gandhi reiterating her intention to step down, Rahul Gandhi questioning the timing of a letter from a section of party leaders seeking a leadership change and calling it "an insult to his mother", sharp comments against the dissenters, Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad offering to resign over barbs from colleagues and Ahmed Patel asking Mr. Gandhi to take back the reins of the party. Personal barbs The meeting also witnessed verbal exchanges between members supporting the Gandhis and the dissenters, with the party’s leader in the Lok Sabha leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury accusing Mr. Azad of “defending the indefensible”, forcing Ms. Gandhi to intervene. The CWC session was prompted by the letter, written by 23 senior Congress leaders including Mr. Azad, Rajya Sabha Deputy Leader Anand Sharma, Lok Sabha members Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tewari among others, which questioned the party’s style of functioning, demanded collective leadership and talked of a ‘full time and visible party president’. Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh then called the letter from the 23 senior leaders ‘unfortunate’ and asked Ms. Gandhi to continue until the next AICC session.
