The Congress party will outline its approach to the SIR controversy during an upcoming Central Working Committee meeting, with senior leader Meira Kumar stating that Gyanesh Kumar will have to step aside.
The Indian National Congress announced that it will use the next Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting to craft a coordinated response to the ongoing SIR (Special Investigation Report) row. Party officials plan to discuss the legal and political implications of the controversy and decide on a unified stance for upcoming parliamentary sessions.
Senior Congress leader Meira Kumar, addressing party members, said that the situation demands decisive action, adding that Gyanesh Kumar will have to leave his current position to protect the party’s image. Her remarks underscore internal pressure to manage the fallout from the SIR issue.
The CWC, the party’s top decision‑making body, is expected to convene later this week. Observers note that the outcome could influence Congress’s positioning ahead of the next election cycle, especially in states where the SIR case has attracted media attention.
No official statement from Gyanesh Kumar has been released yet, and the party has not disclosed further details about the agenda or potential disciplinary measures.
