AGP decision eludes on Padma

AGP steering committee failed to take any clear cut decision to withdraw the withdrawal of suspension against Padma Hazarika on Saturday.

Chaired by president Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, the meeting took place for several hours in the evening. But consensus eluded.

The meeting, however, set up a three member panel to examine the entire issue at an earlier date.

Hazarika was suspended on February 7 alleging that he refused to toe on the party line in the Rajya Sabha polls.
