Rane, Shirodkar not seeing eye-to-eye on Chhattisgarh incident
GPCC president Subhash Shirodkar convened an emergency meeting with a few Congress members in the wake of what Congress workers felt was an unprecedented and cruel killing of the president of Chhattisgarh Congress committees, Nandkumar Patel and killing and injuring of others by the extremists.
Blaming the extremists for the open attempt to destabilize the country, the meeting resolved to be firm about the commitment to democracy, stating that such inhuman violence cannot unsettle the public resolve.
The Congress leaders called upon the government of India to take strongest possible steps to put down the violent with all force at its command, a statement released by GPCC president stated.
The meeting also criticized the Chhattisgarh BJP government for its negligence and apathy to the known Maoist threat to the Congress leaders’ lives.
