Kamal Nath meets Sonia; Congress unit to look into MP issues

Certain issues in the Congress’s MP unit emerged after state forest minister Umang Singhar alleged that former chief minister Digvijaya Singh was interfering in the state government.

To tackle “indiscipline” in Madhya Pradesh Congress, the party has sent the matter to its troubleshooting unit, a disciplinary committee headed by senior leader AK Antony. The decision was taken after state chief minister Kamal Nath met the party’s interim president, Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday.

Anyone who has any complaint can now put them before the committee,” Nath told reporters after the meeting at 10 Janpath.
