leadership today renewed its efforts to end the factional battle in its
Kerala unit. Capping a day of
hectic activities, Kerala Chief Minister A.K.Antony today met Congress
President Sonia Gandhi to apprise her of the situation in the state.
However, veteran leader K. Karunakaran, who is insisting on Mr
Antony’s removal, showed no signs of relenting on his demand.
