In a dramatic political move, the Congress has expelled Madhya Pradesh leader Laxman Singh, brother of senior leader Digvijaya Singh, from the party’s primary membership for six years. The decision follows repeated anti-party statements targeting Rahul Gandhi and Robert Vadra - calling them "immature" and accusing them of damaging the party’s reputation.
Singh, a seasoned politician and five-time MP, also blamed Jammu & Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah for alleged terrorist collusion - a claim that raised eyebrows within Congress circles .
The party issued him a show-cause notice in May, warning that his remarks had harmed its dignity. Defiant, Singh declared he was unafraid of expulsion, challenging the leadership to take action.
Ultimately, the AICC's Disciplinary Action Committee, led by Tariq Anwar, recommended expulsion, which Party President Mallikarjun Kharge approved . The party cited his "repeated public statements" as detrimental to its interests, without detailing specific infractions.
This shake-up underscores Congress's increasing intolerance for internal dissent and serves as a stern message to leaders: cross the line, and face serious consequences.
