“Some mischievous propaganda being circulated by some folks to create confusion. Nothing has been eliminated or added to my Twitter profile. The profile is because it was earlier,” Azad mentioned on Twitter.
Azad’s Twitter profile has nothing written on it and there’s no reference to the Congress celebration.
In the age of social media, the Twitter profiles of leaders are keenly watched as many have a tendency to vary them earlier than formally switching events.
Azad, the previous Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, is a outstanding member of the G23 dissident leaders who’ve been demanding an organizational overhaul within the Congress and has confronted backlash from a piece of the celebration.
After the announcement of the Padma awards on Tuesday night, Congress chief Jairam Ramesh, whereas commenting on CPI (M) chief Buddhadeb Bhattacharya’s refusal to simply accept the award, mentioned, “He desires to be Azad not Ghulam”.
However, senior Congress chief Kapil Sibal, who can also be within the G23, mentioned on Wednesday that it was ironic that the Congress doesn’t want Azad’s companies when the nation acknowledges his contributions to public life.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had showered reward on Azad throughout his farewell speech for the Congress chief within the Upper House and the latter had returned the sentiment.
Azad has not too long ago traveled extensively in villages of Jammu and Kashmir and has acquired an encouraging response. He is once more planning to go to Jammu and Kashmir within the coming days, sources mentioned.
