New Delhi: The process of resigning in the Congress party continues, in this sequence, now Jaiveer Shergill has resigned from the post of the national spokesperson of the Congress party. He has written a letter to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi regarding his resignation. In it, he wrote 'I feel sad to say that decision-making is no longer in the interest of the public and the country, but it is influenced by the selfish interests of those who indulge in sycophancy and constantly ignore the reality.'

Shergill, a lawyer practising in the Supreme Court, came into the limelight when he started a 24×7 legal toll-free helpline number to provide legal help to his party workers. Prior to Jaiveer Shergill, former Union Minister Anand Sharma had also resigned from the post of the party's steering committee chairman on Sunday. It is being told that he was upset due to neglect in the party.

He had also sent a letter to Sonia Gandhi in this matter, saying that she was being ignored in the party. Apart from this, he also said that he is not being invited to the party meetings even before the Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections. The resignation of Anand Sharma is being considered a major setback for the Congress, as he is counted among the loftiest leaders of Himachal Pradesh. He has told Sonia Gandhi in his letter that his self-respect has been hurt because he was not invited to any meeting of the party.
