New Delhi: Amid BJP stepping up its attack on some senior Congress members for allegedly questioning the need for war with Pakistan and challenging the accounts of the Pahalgam victims, the opposition party on Monday distanced itself from the utterances.
"Some Congress leaders have been speaking to the media. They speak for themselves and do not reflect Congress's views," Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said.
Views of Kharge & Rahul alone represent party position: Congress
The statement came in the wake of remarks by party members, including Mani Shankar Aiyar, Shashi Tharoor, Siddaramaiah and his cabinet colleague R B Timmapur.
"There should be absolutely no doubt whatsoever at this most sensitive of times that the CWC ( Congress Working Committee ) resolution, the views expressed by party president Mallikarjun Kharge , and Rahul Gandhi , and the views of authorised AICC office-bearers alone represent the position of Congress," Ramesh said, sending out a clear message to party members to refrain from commenting on the issue.
He said after the CWC passed the resolution, Kharge and Rahul attended the all-party meet and put forward the party's views.
