On Saturday, the group of 23 Congress leaders, who had expressed dissent with the functioning of the party and even wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi, held an event in Jammu to launch a nationwide campaign to "save the idea of India".
Former Rajya Sabha member of Parliament Ghulam Nabi Azad, one of the 23, has invited his colleagues for The Gandhi Global Family event.
Apart from Azad, Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari, Anand Sharma, Bhupinder Hooda and Raj Babbar are also present.
The event has been organised days after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi`s "North-South" remark, which has led to a controversy.
"Be it Jammu or Kashmir or Ladakh, we respect all religions, people and castes.
We equally respect everyone, that is our strength and we will continue with this," Azad said while addressing the event.
Other leaders said they want to strengthen the Congress party.
"People say we are a part of G-23; for me, it`s Gandhi 23.
With the belief, resolve and thinking of Mahatma Gandhi, this nation`s law and Constitution was formed.
Congress is standing strongly to take these forward.
