Dissent in Cong. not unusual : Mirdha

By Our Special Correspondent

BANGALORE, MAY 24. The senior Congress(I) leader, Mr. Ram Nivas Mirdha, sees nothing unusual in some party leaders expressing differing views on the party's economic policies and the leadership of Ms. Sonia Gandhi.

Replying to questions at a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Mirdha said, ``In our party, there have been some voices of dissent... It is not unusual because we are an open, pluralistic democratic party.''

``This (dissenting view) is another proof, if at all proof is necessary, that we have a working democracy in our party,'' Mr. Mirdha, who is the Chairman of the party's Central Election Authority, said.
