The government has asked the Congress party to vacate its long-standing headquarters at 24, Akbar Road by Saturday, according to party sources. The bungalow, which has served as the Congress’s base for 48 years, continues to host party activities despite the inauguration of a new headquarters, Indira Bhavan, at Kotla Marg last year. The Indian Youth Congress has also been directed to vacate its office at 5, Raisina Road. Congress leaders are reportedly exploring legal remedies to delay or challenge the eviction. The Akbar Road office holds deep emotional and historical significance. Once home to colonial administrator Sir Reginald Maxwell and later Daw Khin Kyi, Myanmar’s Ambassador to India, it also housed Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi during her youth. Most notably, in the late 1970s, it became the nerve center of Indira Gandhi’s revival after the party’s 1977 defeat, serving as headquarters through successive Congress governments until 2023.
