Senior Congress leader from Chandigarh, Pardeep Chhabra, who has been at loggerheads with the party's city unit president and has also attacked senior leader Pawan Kumar Bansal, on Friday resigned from primary membership of the party.
The resignation comes a day after the Congress’ city unit served him a notice over his alleged anti-party activities.
"Today, I resign from the primary membership of @INC India,” Chhabra tweeted. He was the Congress’ city unit president till February this year when he was replaced by Subhash Chawla.
In the past few weeks, Chhabra had been attacking Chawla, alleging that he was being ignored and not being called for party meetings. However, in one of the latest invites for a party meeting sent to him on Tuesday by the city unit, Chhabra had expressed his inability to attend it citing personal reasons. In his resignation letter addressed to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Chhabra said he was resigning from all posts and primary membership of the party.
