"Jumla-version of the vaccine story won't save lives. Actual vaccination will," Rahul Gandhi said on Twitter using the hashtag "#DutyToVaccinate".

The present Constitution of Congress was written in the 1920s and some of its clauses look impractical in today's world.

The present constitution of the Congress party was written in the 1920s and some of its clauses look impractical in today's world and that's precisely what the leaders from some north-east states raised in the meeting that was held at AICC headquarters.

Gandhi also stressed the need for discipline and unity and said strengthening the organisation must override personal ambitions. She said the party must redouble its fight for the victims of the Union government's "worst excesses".

During Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on October 16, it was decided that organisation polls will be held next year and for that, a membership drive will be launched from November 1.

Earlier on Friday, Sidhu had said his concerns have been resolved and the party asserted that he will continue as the head of the state unit.

In a resolution on the political situation in the country, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) said the "assault on democratic institutions completes the sad and shameless narrative of the Modi government".  

The Congress Working committee, the highest decision making body of the party, has given go ahead to the internal elections of the party.

Recalling that the Congress had finalised a roadmap for electing a regular Congress chief by June 30 but that deadline was extended indefinitely due to Covid second wave, Sonia Gandhi in CWC meet said that today was the occasion for bringing clarity once and for all on the issue of the organisational polls.

In her opening remark at CWC meet chaired by her, the interim Congress president said she had been wanting for the meeting ever since Parliament adjourned."Now that all of us are doubly vaccinated, I decided we could meet physically with our masks on," Sonia Gandhi said.

In her remarks on Saturday, Sonia Gandhi also said the party is ready for the internal elections.

Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday said, "I expressed my concerns regarding Punjab and Punjab Congress to party high-command. I've full faith in Congress president, Priyanka ji & Rahul ji. Whatever decision they'll take, it'll for the betterment of Congress and Punjab. I'll follow their directions."

"I have suggested to Rahul ji that he should become the president of the All India Congress Committee," Siddaramaiah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.

Sources say reports say present Working President of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Kuljit Nagra and Congress MP from Ludhiana Ravneet Singh Bittu are frontrunners for the post of new Punjab Congress President.

Earlier on Thursday, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi.

Chief spokesperson of the Congress Randeep Surjewala said the party president had indicated last week that a meeting of the CWC, the top decision-making body of the party, would be called very soon.

Amid the Punjab Congress fiasco, Kapil Sibal launched an attack on Rahul Gandhi and wondered who in the party is taking decisions. He said that the party leaders' demand of organisational elections has not been met even a year after the letter was written by G-23.

Navjot Singh Sidhu in a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi resigned as party's Punjab unit chief but said he will continue to serve the party.

The Congress had appointed Sidhu as Punjab state unit chief in July following a bitter duel with Captain Amarinder Singh which eventually saw the later stepping down from his post.

Addressing his resignation letter to All India Congress Committee president Sonia Gandhi, Faleiro, who represented Navelim seat, has alleged that the Goa unit of the party is led by a "coterie" of leaders whose priority is personal gains.
