New Delhi: A fraction of the Youth Congress workers on Wednesday held a demonstration outside the residence of senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal for his ‘G-23, not ji huzoor-23’ remarks against the top Congress leadership. The workers were seen with the placard which reads ‘Get Well Soon Kapil Sibal’.
The fresh protests erupted outside Sibal’s residence at a time when the crisis in Punjab has intensified with the resignation of Navjot Singh Sidhu and Captain Amarinder Singh meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the national capital.
Earlier in the day, Kapil Sibal demanded an immediate meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) and wondered who in the party was taking decisions in the absence of a full-time president.

Addressing the media, he said a senior member of the ‘Group of 23’ has written to Congress President Sonia Gandhi for convening the CWC meeting immediately to discuss the party affairs and the exodus.
Giving further details, Sibal said the grouping is “not a Jee Huzur 23” and will continue to put forth the views and will continue to repeat the demands.
In the meantime, Congress leader TS Singh Deo said that Kapil Sibal is misleading as Sonia Gandhi is making decisions in the party. Calling it unfortunate, he said an experienced person like Kapil Sibal doesn’t know how decisions are being taken.
“Kapil Sibal is misleading. Sonia Gandhi Ji making decisions in the party. Unfortunate that an experienced person like Kapil Sibal doesn’t know decisions are being taken. Those committed to ideology of Congress will never leave the party,” TS Singh Deo said.

The senior Congress leader further added that the Congress needs to be strengthened as a strong opposition to take on the government and once again reiterated the demands of the group for holding elections to the Congress president, the CWC and the central election committee.
Expressing anguish over the developments in the party in Punjab and the recent exodus of party leaders, he said all such issues need to be discussed at a party platform.
