SRINAGAR: Congress party has chosen a dead leader as a member in the panel to shortlist and select candidates for the
forthcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
Senior Congress leader Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam breathed his last this year in June but surprisingly the order copy issued by Congress High Command and signed by Congress president Sonia Gandhi has the name of Aslam as a member of the panel nominated to select the candidates for the forthcoming Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir.
This clearly indicates the widening gap between party top brass and common workers. The people who are at the helm of affairs in Congress party are unaware about ground situation and they even dont know who is who in the party at State level, one of the relatives of Aslam told a local news gathering agency.
It is shocking that Congress High Command doesnt know about a person (Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam) who sacrificed his life for the party, he lamented.
A Congress leader said that it was a typo error, which should not be taken so seriously.
Pertinently, Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam was the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader when he died in June this year. Surprisingly, even when Congress party corrected the press note, they just removed Aslam’s name, but retained CLP leader.
Late Aslam hailing from Poonch remained J&K Pradesh Congress Committee chief for 17 years.
