A group of rebel Congress leaders, also known as G-23, met at senior leader Ghulam Nabi Azad's residence, days after the party performed poorly in five Assembly elections. Those who reportedly attended the meeting were Kapil Sibal, Anand Sharma, Manish Tewari, Mani Shankar Aiyar and Shashi Tharoor. The leaders met amid calls for a change in Congress' leadership.
