Infighting over Padma award: Karan Singh backs Ghulam Nabi Azad

Hindustan Times  

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Karan Singh on Thursday backed his party colleague Ghulam Nabi Azad, calling him a “well-deserved” candidate for India’s third highest civilian award, the Padma Bhushan. “These national awards should not become a subject of inter-party controversy, far less of intra-party ones… If one of our colleagues is honoured, he should be greeted with warm appreciation rather than snide remarks,” said Singh. Congress leaders, who wrote to party chief Sonia Gandhi in 2020 seeking an overhaul of the party, congratulated Azad. He wants to be Azad, not Ghulam,” he tweeted in reference to former West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee’s refusal to accept the Padma Bhushan.
