Assam MP and former journalist Abdul Khaleque on Friday resigned from the primary membership of Congress after the party declined to field him again from the Barpeta parliamentary constituency.
In a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, he said Congress attracted him 25 years ago because of its ideologies and the “selfless sacrifice” of its leaders leading to the country’s independence.
“…I performed the assigned duties with whole-hearted responsibilities… I owe infinite gratitude and love to the people of my constituencies, the party, and the party workers who stood by me,” Mr. Khaleque wrote.
