JAMMU, Dec 12: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Youth Congress today held a strong protest demonstration against the Modi led NDA Government for its alleged attitude to suppress the voice of opposition on various issues.
The protest, near Shahidi Chowk Jammu, was led by Dr Uma Shankar Pandey- secretary IYC Incharge J&K and Pranav Shagotra, president PYC.
A large number of Youth Congress activists took part in the protest and torched an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi amidst raising of slogans against BJP.
While addressing the PYC activists, Uma Shankar Panday alleged that the Modi led NDA Government at the Centre was trying to suppress the voice of Congress party and its leaders. “Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi are raising the issues of farmers and poor sections of the pluralistic society of the nation, besides raising the corruption cases in three BJP ruled States; Vyapam case of Madhya Pradesh and the corruption case against the Chief Minister of Rajasthan and her son worth millions of crores and the inaction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi against these Chief Ministers,” he added.
Pranav Shagotra, in his address, said that the leaders of BJP were trying to divert the attention of general masses from the issues like sky rocketing rates of the essential commodities, non-fulfillment of promises made by them during the elections campaigns and increase in corruption etc. Suppressing the voice of opposition is against democratic system of the country and the allegation of BJP that Congress party is not allowing to run the Parliament is wrong, he said and added that it is BJP, which is not allowing the Parliament to run smoothly.
