CWC Meeting: The Congress Working Committee has been called on October 16 to deliberate over the country’s current political situation and decide on the organizational elections.

Many party leaders leveled allegations against each other over the political crisis in Punjab Congress. Since then, Congress leaders, especially G-23 leaders, have demanded the CWC meet. 

Congress General Secretary K. C. Venugopal tweeted about the CWC meeting on Saturday. He said the CWC will meet on October 16 at 10 am at the All India Congress Committee headquarters.

The CWC meeting is set to take place at a time when Sushmita Dev, Jitin Prasada, Luizinho Falerio and many other leaders have left the Congress and joined other parties in the last few months. Recently, G-23 group leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal demanded that the CWC meeting be convened at the earliest. Azad had written to interim Congress president Sonia Gandhi in this regard.

Kapil Sibal had earlier said, "In our party, there is no president. So we don't know who is taking these decisions. We know and yet we don't know. A CWC meeting should be convened immediately so that we can have a dialogue about things that we can't speak publicly and know why we are in this state." Sibal had also questioned the party leadership after which several Congress workers protested outside his residence and raised slogans against him.
