Addressing newsmen shortly after the Congress, the electoral chairman, Hyati said the Congress was free, fair, credible and acceptable.
“We did all we could to ensure a perfect congress which by all standards would be regarded as free, fair, credible and acceptable Congress as no member raised any eyebrows” he added.
