Lucknow: Overruling the decision of UPCC
chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has
stayed the appointment of Moid Ahmed as the chairman of
party`s UP Minority Cell.
In a letter, copy of which has been forwarded to Joshi,
chairman of the minority department of All India Congress
Committee, Imran-ur-Rehman Kidwai said he discussed the matter
with the Congress president who stayed the appointment of Moid
Ahmed till the completion of the organisational polls.
In view of the decision of the Congress president, Maroof
Khan would continue as chairman of the minority cell of the
UPCC, party sources said here.
There have been reports of bickering within the party
ever since the UPCC president carried out a minor reshuffle,
with some leaders questioning as to how the appointments could
be made without clearance from the chairpersons of concerned
cells at the AICC.
