b. Kamal Nath
c. Ghulam Nabi Azad
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Kamal Nath
 
Senior Congress leader Kamal Nath resigned as the party’s general secretary in charge of Punjab on Wednesday, a post he was given just two days ago, after the Aam Aadmi Party, the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party accused him of involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
  • In his resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Nath said “certain elements” were raking up the 1984 riots and pinning charges on him for “political gains.”
  • Ms. Gandhi accepted the resignation. Mr. Nath will continue to be general secretary in charge of Haryana.
  • Mr. Nath said there was no complaint or FIR against him in the riots case and “this canard is therefore nothing but a cheap political ploy to gain traction ahead of the elections….”
