Azad's Padma award invokes divided response from Congress

The Padma award for senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has once again divided the Congress party. Several leaders of the party hailed Azad's award but the high command has maintained a mysterious silence in the matter. Former Union Minister Anand Sharma  wish Ghulam Nabi Azad for being awarded the country's third highest honour.

Kapil Sibal was more direct. "Ghulam Nabi Azad conferred Padam Bhushan. Congratulations bhaijan. Ironic that the Congress doesn't need his services when the nation recognises his contributions to public life," Sibal tweeted. 

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor congratulated Ghulam Nabi Azad on being conferred with Padma. But Jairam Ramesh aimed at his colleague using the phrase "Ghulam, not Azad (enslaved, not free)".  Ramesh also referred to CPM's Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, former Bengal Chief Minister, rejecting his Padma Bhushan.
