Cong to hold fast in Puducherry on Monday to condemn disqualification of Rahul

March 26, 2023 17:21

The Puducherry Pradesh Congress Committee will hold a dawn to dusk fast in Puducherry on Monday to condemn the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as member of Parliament.

Former Puducherry Chief Minister and senior Congress leader V Narayanasamy told participants in a protest rally organised by the PPCC in Puducherry Sunday that, "the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi is a clear case of political vendetta unleashed by the Bharatiya Janata Party-headed NDA government at the Centre."

He said that the Central government was attempting to gag the voice of the opposition particularly when the Congress leader was exposing the Narendra Modi led government's nexus with the industrialist and billionaire Gautam Adani.

"The Prime Minister tried to silence the opposition but our protests would continue unabated," Narayanasamy said announcing that a day-long fast would be observed on Monday to condemn the disqualification of Gandhi. -- PTI
