Guwahati, February 16 Former Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah has withdrawn his resignation following the intervention of the party's high command, AICC state in-charge Jitendra Singh claimed on Monday.
Senior Congress leaders, including Singh and Assam unit chief Gaurav Gogoi, met Borah at his residence here after he had sent a letter to the party high command earlier in the day, announcing his resignation.
Meanwhile, Borah told reporters outside his residence that he had sought time from the Congress high command to reconsider his decision.
Gogoi added that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had spoken to Borah, and his resignation was not accepted by the high command.
"We apologize to Bhupen Borah if he felt hurt due to certain issues within the party," Gogoi said.
