Raman Bhalla and other leaders charged BJP Government led by Narendra Modi of being anti- democratic in its mindset and approach and indulging in personal vendetta and misuse of central agencies against opposition especially Congress leadership to divert attention of people from the failures and misdeeds of the government.
Bhalla hit out at BJP government, accusing it of indulging in cheap vendetta politics to divert attention from issues such as inflation, falling GDP growth, social unrest, and its divisive policies in the country. He said the case of money laundering was baseless. Congress shall not be intimidated by such cheap tactics.
In Srinagar also Congress leaders and activists led by JKPCC president GA Mir held Satyagraha protest outside its office. Several office bearers, former Legislators, DCC presidents and prominent Party workers participated.
Mir and other leaders criticized ED summon to Sonia Gandhi and sought end to vendetta politics unleashed by the BJP against the opposition especially Congress Party aiming to divert attention of the people from its utter failures on all fronts.
Mir said ED summons to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi is a tool to malign the image of the grand old National Party. He said Modi Govt’s diversionary tactics and misleading politics won’t deter Congress Party from fighting for the rights of people despite coercion and misuse of agencies against the party leadership. JKPCC president termed policy of coercion and misuse of agencies by Modi Govt as intolerable and unacceptable.
