Jaiveer Shergill resigns as Congress' national spokesperson.

 


On Wednesday, Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill tendered his resignation from the post of national spokesperson of the party.

In a letter that Shergill wrote to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, Shergill claimed the vision of decision-makers was no longer in sync with the aspirations of the youth.

"The primary reason being that the ideology and the vision of the current decision-makers of the Indian National Congress is no longer in sync with the aspirations of the youth and modern India," Shergill said in this letter.

He also said that self-serving interests were gaining precedence while public and national interest were being ignored.

"Furthermore, it pains me to say that decision-making is no longer for the interest of the public or the country. Rather it is influenced by the self-serving interests of individuals indulging in sycophancy and consistently ignoring on ground reality. This is something I cannot morally accept or continue to work with," he added.

Shergill is a lawyer by profession from Punjab and is a prominent figure among the youth.

This comes days after party veterans Ghulam Nabi Azad and Anand Sharma resigned from their post assigned by the party.
