Das on cover, so Cong withdraws Sandesh

However, party leaders maintained that they had not withdrawn the mouthpiece, claiming that the latest issue had not been released yet. They said the issue would be released in a few days. But a copy of the magazine, with Das’s photographs, is with The Indian Express.

All the three photographs (on the cover, page 5 and page 7) are from the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee convention held in Kanpur in March. The convention was addressed by both Sonia and Rahul. Congress leaders said the magazine was not released publicly, although it had been published. They said the matter of “re-doing” the magazine was being discussed with the printers.
