In a letter addressed to the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge, Khaleque stated, “I am glad that the central leadership of the party reached out to me because of which I could have a fruitful discussion with Shri K C Venugopal ji, GSO and later had the blessings of our Honourable CPP Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhiji. Strengthening Congress is the need of hour, hence I withdraw my resignation and wish to work under your and Rahul Gandhi’s able leadership.”
