Congress burns the effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Protest against the arrest of all Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi
July 26, Chandigarh: The effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was burnt by the Haryana unit of the Congress here today to protest against the arrest of all Congress leaders including former Congress President Rahul Gandhi in Delhi and the government’s dictatorial attitude.
On this occasion, State President of Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee Chaudhary Udai Bhan accused the Modi government of murdering democracy.
He said that the Congress leaders wanted to meet the President on their demands in a democratic manner. But the manner in which the police (in Delhi) misbehaved with them and arrested them on the orders of the government, is highly condemnable.
Pertinently, Rahul Gandhi and the other MPs had assembled in Parliament and marched towards Vijay Chowk on their way to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to draw the President’s attention to the alleged misuse of central agencies by the government, but were stopped by police.
Chaudhary Udai Bhan said that it is the responsibility of the opposition to raise the issues of public interest from the road to the Parliament, fight against the Tughlaqi diktats of the government and misuse of institutions.
But the Modi government at the Centre wants to crush the opposition voice completely. That is why ED, CBI and other government institutions are being misused against Congress leaders. Against this, satyagraha was organized by the Congress inside the party headquarters across the country today. In this episode, Congress leaders and workers staged a sit-in on behalf of the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee.
On this occasion, Udai Bhan said that the Enforcement Directorate action is being taken against their leader Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Sonia Gandhi due to political malice.
The only aim of the government is to divert attention from the real issues. But the Congress is determined to continue raise voice on issues like rising unemployment, inflation and falling economy and rupee value. Congress will not break and will not bow down in front of the dictatorship of Modi government, said Udai Bhan.
In this protest demonstration of Congress, working president Ramkrishan Gurjar, senior leader Ashok Arora, party’s deputy leader in the assembly Aftab Ahmed, MLA Jagbir Malik, Geeta Bhukkal,Bharat Bhushan Batra, Jaiveer Valmiki, Mewa Singh, Shamsher Singh Gogi, Subhash Deshwal, Pradeep Choudhary , Renu Bala, Varun Mulana, Induraj Narwal were also present.
Apart from these, Paramvir Singh, Parminder Singh Dhull, Dharampal Sangwan, Sudha Bharadwaj, Lalit Nagar, Lahiri Singh, M L Ranga, Subhash Goyal, Ramkishan Fauji, Chandveer Hooda, Chakravati Sharma, Divyanshu Budhiraja, Khushiram Jaglan, Balram Dangi, Rakesh Garg, Pawan Chopra and many senior and youth leaders including Sanjeev Bhardwaj were also present.
