    A gathering of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) started Friday morning to finalise the schedule for election of a brand new celebration president, amongst different points.
    In the assembly, the CWC will talk about the organisational election schedule despatched by the celebration’s Central Election Authority headed by Madhusudan Mistry. Indications are that the elections shall be held in May, after the Assembly elections in 4 states and one Union Territory.
    In her opening remarks, interim celebration president Sonia Gandhi hit out on the authorities over a bunch of points. She stated there have been “many pressing issues of public concern” that wanted to be debated and mentioned within the upcoming session of Parliament.
    On the continued farmers’ agitation, she stated the federal government had proven “shocking insensitivity and arrogance going through the charade of consultations”.
    “It is abundantly clear that the three laws were prepared in haste and Parliament was consciously denied an opportunity for examining in any meaningful details their implications and impacts. Our position has been very clear from the very beginning: we reject them categorically because they will destroy the foundations of food security that are based on the three pillars of MSP, public procurement and PDS,” she stated.

    On the purported WhatsApp conversations between Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and former CEO of Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) Partho Dasgupta, she stated there have been “very disturbing” stories on how nationwide safety was “thoroughly compromised”.
    “Just a few days back, Antony-ji had said that leaking of official secrets of military operations is treason. Yet, the silence from the government’s side on what has been revealed has been deafening. Those who give certificates of patriotism and nationalism to others now stand totally exposed,” she stated.

    On the financial system, Gandhi stated the state of affairs remained grim and enormous components of the financial system, just like the MSME and casual sectors, had been “decimated”.

    “When public expenditure has to be carefully prioritised, it is very painful to find huge amounts of money being allocated and spent on initiatives that can only be described as ‘personal vanity projects’. Equally anguishing is the manner in which the government has weakened labour and environmental laws and its moving ahead with selling off of carefully built-up public assets. Panic privatisation has gripped the government and this is something that the Congress party can never accept and support,” she stated.
