Infighting plagues J&K Congress, many senior leaders up in arms against PCC chief Tariq Hameed Karra
Even as the Congress central leadership is engaged in firefighting in Karnataka, a flare-up of dissidence in the J&K Congress unit, where many senior leaders have now turned against PCC president
Tariq Hameed Karra
and seeking his removal, is proving to be a concern for the leadership.
The dissidents' camp didn't even attend the reception the J&K PCC president hosted last week in Srinagar for visiting AICC general secretary in-charge Syed Naseer Hussain. After Karra and Hussain jointly readmitted into the Congress, senior leader Ghulam Mohd Saroori, despite opposition, video clippings of Saroori terming (when he had quit Congress to join Ghulam Nabi Azad's party) Rahul Gandhi as "immature" and "incapable of ever becoming the PM" have now reached many AICC functionaries in Delhi.
Sources said over 20 anti-Karra senior leaders of the J&K Congress, reportedly including
CWC member
and former PCC chief Vikar Rasool Wani, former deputy CM Tara Chand, senior leaders Ghulam Nabi Monga, Manoharlal Sharma and Mohd Anwar Bhatt, have now sought a meeting with party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi to discuss the internal issues.

Congress functionaries said ever since he was appointed PCC chief a year ago, Karra, a former PDP leader, faced resistance from sections of J&K Congress leaders, who consider him an "outsider" with no major support base within and with an "alien's understanding" of the Congress functioning. That internal resistance to Karra has grown into a larger Opposition after the party's poor show in the recent J&K polls, losing all seats in Jammu region and winning only about half-a-dozen seats in the Valley.
While Karra and his supporters have been brushing aside the opposition, PCC president's post-poll debacle statement about dissolving many party committees and his decision to appoint some DCC presidents have also become contentious with dissidents taking the matter to the high command, accusing him of unilateralism and attempts to replace Congress leaders with outsiders.
