Want to quit as Punjab in-charge, says Kamal Nath

New Delhi, Congress leader Kamal Nath has resigned from his position as the person in charge of the party’s affairs Punjab, party spokesman Randip Surjewala said on Wednesday, days after the leader was given the charge.

Surjewala said that Congress president Sonia Gandhi has accepted his resignation.

Nath, who was appointed as the General Secretary in-charge of Punjab as well as Haryana only three days back, said in his letter to Gandhi: “.. I request that I may be relieved of my charge (of Punjab) to ensure that the attention is not diverted from the real issues facing Punjab”.

He said he was “hurt by the developments of the past few days wherein an unnecessary controversy has been created around the tragic 1984 riots in New Delhi”.
