And when questioned about Home Minister Amit Shah's tweet asking grand old party to clarify if y support People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD), Salman Khurshid said that Congress party has taken a formal position regarding question of it being a part of Gupkar alliance or t.

'We should leave it to that'

"My party has taken a position, I think Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala has taken formal position. We should leave it to that," former Union Minister told ANI. " issue was wher we should join hands to fight local elections and refore re was partial engment with m, but I don't think re has been a serious discussion about ideological implications of that declaration and refore I shouldn't be saying anything which finally has to come from party leership," he ded.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a statement that party was against any foreign intervention in internal affairs of India, including in Jammu and Kashmir. " Congress party is t part of 'Gupkar Alliance' or 'People's Association for Gupkar Declaration'," he said in a statement. His reaction came after BJP targeted Congress, saying it should make clear if it agrees with "anti-national" views of NC and PDP.
