Former Minister of Law and Rajya Sabha EX-MP from Punjab Ashwani Kumar on Tuesday resigned from Congress which ended 46 years with the party.
Sending his resignation to the Chairman of Congress Sonia Gandhi, Kumar said he could present national interests outside the fold of the Congress.
“After giving a wise consideration for this problem, I have concluded that in the current and consistent situation with my dignity, I can serve a larger national cause outside the folds of the party. I did it by stopping at a party after a 46-year-old association and hoped To proactively pursue the public causes inspired by the idea of transformative leadership, based on a divitrician promise of liberal democracy imagined by our freedom fighters, “Kumar aged 69 years. Word in his letter to Gandhi.

Kumar, the two generations have been linked with Congress, blaming their decisions about “lack of leadership” in the party.
Noting that he was quite persistent at the party, Kumar said the Congress could not return himself and continue to decline.
The former Minister of Law said the recent controversy around the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Padma Bhushan to Ghulam Prophet Azad further strengthened his decision to stop.
Kumar also criticized the way of Congress “treats the former Punjab head of Minister Amarinder Singh”.
“The former CM is humiliated publicly and it opposes the principles of congress standing for,” Kumar said.
He also questioned the opening competition for the position of ministerial minister in Punjab (between Charanjit Singh Channi and head of PCC Navjot Singh Sidhu) said it showed the party in a “very bad light”.
Kumar said the AAM AAM party will win Punjab and add that the Congress as the National Party faces major challenges with regional players who appear much stronger.
The former minister said he had not decided on future actions but would remain in active politics to serve the interests of “people in the country”.
Kumar has become a vocal advocate “dignity and respect in politics”.
“I don’t feel I belong to Congress again,” Veteran, who served in the cabinet of former PM Manmohan Singh between 2004 and 2014, said when he signed from the Grand Party.
