The Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting began on Friday here to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack and the government’s announcement to include caste enumeration in the next national Census.
The party’s top brass, including two chief ministers from Telangana, Revanth Reddy, and Himachal Pradesh, Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, are participating in the meeting, sources informed. The top leaders who have arrived for the meeting include Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Khera, Ambika Soni, Salman Khurshid, Rajiv Shukla, and others.
