In a major overhaul, veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad on Friday, 11 September was dropped as the party general secretary. Azad was one of the most prominent names to have signed the letter demanding a ‘reorganisation’ of the party functioning, a move that was seen as “dissent” by Gandhi family loyalists a few weeks ago.

Azad, however, is still a part of the CWC.

The other names dropped as general secretaries include Mallikarjun Kharge, Ambika Soni, Moti Lal Vohra and Luzenio Falerio.

“The party whole-heartedly appreciates the contributions of outgoing General Secretaries Ghulam Nabi Azad, Motial Vora, Ambika Soni, Mallikarjun Kharge and Luizinho Faleiro, said a letter signed off by Sonia Gandhi on Friday.
