Sir — The albatross of Congress leader Kamal Nath’s alleged involvement in the 1984 riots far outweighs his usefulness as a shrewd political operative. The fiasco of his appointment as party in-charge of Punjab and his subsequent resignation is yet another indication of the continuing cluelessness of the Congress high command.
Unable to articulate a clear political or ideological vision and build an organisation around it, the Congress has become dependent mostly on jaded leaders, whose mass connect is questionable, and who prevent the rise of young and new leaders.
