All India Congress Committee general secretary Tariq Anwar has stressed the need for maintaining discipline in the party even as the ‘A’ and ‘I’ factions within the Congress have been holding meetings and even expressing their displeasure publicly against the selection of block committee presidents.
Mr. Anwar was here on Wednesday to open a two-day conclave of the newly elected block presidents from north Kerala districts.
“There are some grievances from sections of the party. I am here, ready to listen to them. But, you should not take party affairs to the media. I request my senior colleagues to maintain discipline. You can come to me if you want, or go to the Congress president,” he said. Mr. Anwar said that a door was always open in the Congress because it was a democratic party.
