The Congress will hold a day-long ‘Satyagraha’ in front of Gandhi statues in all states and district headquarters on Sunday to protest the expulsion of Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha. The Satjagraha will start at 10 am and end at 5 pm.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will hold a satyagraha at Raj Ghat in the state capital.
Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after a court in Gujarat’s Surat convicted him in a 2019 defamation case. The disqualification will bar Gandhi, 52, a four-time MP, from contesting elections for eight years unless a higher court overturns his conviction.
The Congress leader alleged that the action against him was taken because Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “scared” of his upcoming speech in Parliament on the Adani issue, claiming that the “whole game” was to divert people’s attention from the issue and panic the government. he felt above the matter.
The Congress said that Rahul Gandhi is not alone and millions of Congressmen and people irrespective of their political affiliation will join him in this fight for truth and justice.
To this end, all Pradesh Congress Committees have been asked to organize a one-day satyagraha in front of Gandhi statues at all state and district headquarters on Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
