Sanjay Jha suspended from Congress for 'anti-party' activities

NEW DELHI:

Congess leader Sanjay Jha

has been suspended from the party with immediate effect "for anti-party activities and breach of discipline."


The Maharashtra unit of the Congress shared the press release on Twitter on Tuesday.


Last month, Jha was removed as a party spokesperson, after he wrote a newspaper article critical of the party.

In the article published, Jha had said, "The Congress has demonstrated extraordinary lassitude, and its lackadaisical attitude towards its own political obsolescence is baffling...”

"I would like to call a spade a spade here and a shovel: there has been no serious effort to get the party up and running with any sense of urgency,” he had said in the article in 'The Times of India'.

“There are many in the party who cannot comprehend this perceptible listlessness. For someone like me, for instance, permanently wedded to Gandhian philosophy and Nehruvian outlook that defines the Congress, it is dismaying to see its painful disintegration," he had said.
