New Delhi: Congress leader Jagdish Tytler said that he "was not going to pursue" his Lok Sabha candidature and left the final decision to party President Sonia Gandhi.
"I don't think I should fight (the election)," Tytler told a news conference on Thursday.
"I am not going to pursue my ticket in the elections. I have left to the Congress high command," he said in the Capital following the controversy over his involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
"If my stepping down helps, I will do so. The party is bigger than myself," he said.
The Congress Lok Sabha nominee from Delhi North-East said he was going to meet Sonia Gandhi after the press conference.
