Section of Congress divided over action against 2 minority leaders

The Congress party in Karnataka is facing a controversy over enforcing discipline within its ranks without alienating minority voters who helped deliver it a decisive mandate. The party has suspended MLC K Abdul Jabbar and removed Naseer Ahmed as political secretary to the chief minister, sparking a debate on fairness, representation, and political obligation. Minority leaders are seen as crucial to the party's electoral arithmetic, and any perception of alienation is considered politically consequential.
