In a resolution, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) also expressed "serious concern about arrest and detention of entire political leadership in Jammu & Kashmir".

"The Congress Working Committee calls upon the Government to act in a transparent fashion and forthwith permit a delegation of opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir," the resolution said.

The resolution was passed after a meeting of Congress Working Committee (CWC) here which chose Sonia Gandhi as the new interim president of the party to succeed Rahul Gandhi who had resigned after the party's Lok Sabha poll debacle.
