New Delhi, 14th May. Resentful leader and former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar, who was removed from all posts previously, left Congress on Saturday during a Facebook Live session.
Amid the ongoing Chintan Shivir of Congress in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, Sunil Jakhar went live on Facebook to publicize his decision.
Aiming Congress, Jakhar asked if the party president Sonia Gandhi wasn’t aware that he held no post in the party and yet he was issued a show-cause notice.
“I don’t hold any post (in the party); I have an ideology. I want to ask Sonia Gandhi that being Congress president, doesn’t she know that I hold no position in the party? Then why a show-cause notice is being given to me?” Jakhar asked.
Jakhar also grilled top party leaders Tariq Anwar, JP Aggarwal and Ambika Soni, who are members of the Congress Disciplinary Committee.
“Tariq Anwar served me a show-cause notice. He’s a person who had left Congress by making several allegations against the party and Sonia Gandhi,” he said.
The former Punjab Congress chief also slammed Ambika Soni and asked how can she be a part of the committee against him when she is the one who made the accusations of indiscipline against him.
“Where was Ambika Soni in 1970, when Congress needed its members the most? She ran away from her responsibilities,” he said.
Soni allegedly had warned the former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi that Punjab would be on fire if Sunil Jakhar is made the Chief Minister of the state.
On April 11, Congress leaders KV Thomas and Sunil Jakhar were issued show-cause notices for violating party discipline and were asked to reply within a week. However, Sunil Jakhar did not take action to the notice.
On the notice, Sunil Jakhar had said that he is not a slave of Congress party but a disciplined worker.
Saying that he has a 50-year-old relationship with the Congress, Sunil Jakhar had said, “For years, I have acted as a disciplined worker of the Congress party.
