Rahul Gandhi is our leader, should return as Congress president: Salman Khurshid
India TodayRahul Gandhi is "our leader" and should return as the president of the Congress, senior party leader Salman Khurshid has said, days after he remarked that the party was not able to introspect its Lok Sabha poll debacle as "its leader had walked away" after the election. The Congress had seemingly disapproved Salman Khurshid's "walked away" remarks with party spokesperson Pawan Khera saying people should avoid making side comments and work towards exposing the BJP government's follies instead. Strategic silence is sensible in critical moments but equally speaking up is an imperative for collective future, Salman Khurshid said in what he termed as his letter to his colleagues in the Congress and "people who are listening". "Finally, our opponents and media can eat their hearts out but I do believe that Rahul Gandhi is our leader, he should return as president of our grand party that Soniaji will continue to inspire," Salman Khurshid said.
