G-23 letter-writers, Congress leadership to meet on Tuesday

NEW DELHI: The Congress leadership, including leading members of the G-23 “letter writers”, will meet on Tuesday to discuss parliamentary strategy, the session being important because it will be the first time that the two groups will come together since the stormy CWC meeting over the dissenters seeking organisational overhaul.
Sources said Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, former PM Manmohan Singh, veterans like AK Antony and possibly Rahul Gandhi will be on the virtual platform to brain storm on issues to be taken up in the coming Parliament session starting on September 14.
While the letter writers have complained that there has been no communication from the party brass since the CWC meet on August 24, there is expectation that the Congress chief should meet a group to discuss the issues raised by them.
While it is said that the invite may come through soon, some AICC managers question the public comments from, and private gatherings of, what is known as G-23, and are counselling restraint.
