Online plea against move

JALANDHAR

: An online petition addressed to Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has been launched, urging him not to appoint former Union minister Kamal Nath as the Madhya Pradesh CM.


The petition sent on Thursday afternoon by Karthik Venkatesh mentioned Nath's alleged role during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

The political leader's role has been documented, it read and argued that his appointment would disrespect those, who voted against politics of hatred.

"Winning an election is just the beginning of a journey. What it means is that we, the people, have entrusted you to put your best foot forward for us. And we are going to be watching your actions sharply and evaluate you," it said.
