New Delhi, Dec 28 (IBNS): The Congress party on Monday sacked an editor after its mouthpiece in Mumbai featured articles making controversial comments on Sonia Gandhi.
The mouthpiece of the party in Maharashtra, in an article, blamed none other than Jawaharlal Nehru for the Kashmir situation while also mentioning Sonia Gandhi's father as a Fascist member. 
 
The author of this article, Sudhir Joshi, has been sacked as the content editor of the publication.
 
The party mouthpiece Congress Darshan, edited by senior leader Sanjay Nirupam, called Sonia Gandhi's father a member of the fascist forces in Italy.
 
According to reports it also said that Sonia Gandhi made a failed attempt to form a government.
 
The December issue blamed India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru for the situation in Kashmir along with China for not listening to freedom fighter and former home minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
 
While the edition of Congress Darshan caused huge embarrassment to the party on the 131st anniversary day of the party, its editor Sanjay Nirupam was quoted in media saying that there were errors which are being rectified.
