NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday announced setting up of a three-member panel to look into the issues raised by rebel leader Sachin Pilot, signalling an end to the political crisis in Rajasthan.
In a statement issued today, the party said that "Sachin Pilot has committed to work in the interest of the Congress party and the Congress government in Rajasthan."
The Congress statement, which came hours after Pilot met Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, said that the committee will be constituted by Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and will arrive at an appropriate resolution of the issues raised by the rebel camp.
Earlier today, Sachin Pilot and Rahul Gandhi "had a frank, open and conclusive discussion", following which the truce was announced.
Meanwhile, Bhanwar Lal Sharma, a key rebel Congress MLA who was supporting Pilot, met the chief minister on Monday and said the "party is like a family and Ashok Gehlot is its head."
"There was no camp, nobody was a captive. Bhanwar Lal can never be a captive. I went there willingly, I have come here willingly," Bhanwar Lal Sharma said after meeting Gehlot.
"I met him. Party is like a family and Ashok Gehlot is its head. If someone gets upset in a family then they don't take food. So I expressed my unhappiness for a month. Now I don't have any resentment anymore. Party will fulfill all the promises made to people," he said.
