Want every ex-Congressman back in the party: AICC

Shillong, Jan 11: The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has welcomed anyone, who left the party, to be back into the fold, but AICC would approach none of them first.

“No, we have not sent any feelers to anybody but if someone wants to join the Congress party, we welcome it,” said AICC in-charge Meghalaya A Chellakumar on Saturday while reacting to a question on whether the party is reaching out to its former leaders for homecoming.

There have been speculations about the Congress trying to rebuild in Meghalaya by roping in former leaders including the former chief minister and Trinamool Congress leader Mukul Sangma.  

“I want all Congressmen to come back to the Congress to strengthen the Congress not only for the interest of the Congress, but it is in the interest of the state of Meghalaya and also the nation,” the AICC incharge said.

Asserting that the Congress is not running after anybody, Dr Chellakumar said, “Everybody knows what is going on in the country today so we welcome it but we are not giving any intuition to anybody and we are not running after anybody. If anybody wants to join, let them come forward.”

Asked, he said, “First of all they (former leaders) have to make up their minds. So let them come out open then we will see that.”
