Sudhir Joshi, the content editor of 'Congress Darshan', has been sacked following the controversy over criticism of former prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and party president Sonia Gandhi in the mouthpiece.
Sanjay Nirupam, the editor-in-chief of the journal, earlier today apologised and said that action would be taken against the people responsible in the editorial team.
"Some words that have been used in some articles of 'Congress Darshan' are certainly objectionable. I accept the mistake. Action will be taken against people in editorial team who are responsible for this mistake," Nirpuam said.
In the December issue of 'Congress Darshan', questions have been raised on Nehru's decision for the state of affairs in Kashmir, China and Tibet.
The article clearly states that Nehru should have listened to former home minister Sardar V
It also criticised Sonia Gandhi and said her father was a fascist soldier.
