Cong to conduct nationwide protest on Oct 26, 31

October 18, 2020 20:07

The Congress will hold a nationwide protest against the Hathras incident on October 26. The party will also protest against the farm laws at all party district headquarters on October 31, said Congress sources.

The decision was taken during AICC meeting chaired by Congress president Sonia Gandhi with the general secretaries and incharges. She has asked all the general secretaries and state incharges to reach out to people and farmers who are in distress.

"Atrocities on Dalits have reached a new zenith. Instead of honoring the law and granting adequate protection to India's daughters, BJP governments are siding with the criminals. The voice of oppressed families is being suppressed by the agencies of the State. Is this the new Raj Dharma?" said Sonia Gandhi during the meeting.

"To take on these challenges and stand with the people is what defines the Congress. I am confident that all of you would toil hard and stand up to the forces attacking India and its people. Let us join hands to defeat the anti-democracy and autocratic designs of the ruling BJP," she added.

Speaking about the new Farm Laws, Sonia Gandhi said that the current BJP government has attacked the foundation of our resilient agrarian economy by bringing in three anti-agriculture "black laws."
