Port Blair, Apr 03: The Andaman & Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee (ANTCC) on Sunday launched its ‘Jai Bharat Satyagraha’ protest programme by organizing a Press Conference at Gandhi Bhawan, Port Blair highlighting the motive behind preplan conviction and subsequent disqualification of Rahul Gandhi.
In the press conference, ANTCC President Mr. Rangalal Halder informed the media that the protest programme will start from April 16th and various forms of protest, including a series of public meetings, nukkad-natak campaign, post card campaign and social media campaign will be organized at State, District and Block levels across the Islands.
“During the protests, the ANTCC will highlight the blatant looting of people’s money by the Modi Government by conspiring with some of his close associates like Gautam Adani”, he said.
ANTCC Campaign Committee Chairman Mr. TSG Bhasker said that Rahul Gandhi was targeted because he asked the Prime Minister about the scam of Adani group and demanded a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) on the matter.
“The BJP and Narendra Modi are trying to shut the mouth of Rahul Gandhi so that he stops exposing the scam. The recent conviction of Rahul Gandhi in the defamation case and disqualification was a pre-plan to gag Rahul Gandhi”, he said.
ANTCC Chief Spokesperson Mr. K. Ganeshan and ANTCC Spokesperson Mr. Tamil Selvan jointly said that the Congress Party would do everything to save the democracy and would stand firm for justice to Rahul Gandhi.
“The government at the Centre is blatantly misusing Central agencies to suppress the voice of opposition parties. Now Rahul Gandhi is being targeted because he has raised serious questions on democracy and capitalists”, they alleged.
