New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday said it will launch nationwide protests in front of different Raj Bhavans against the BJP’s “anti-democratic and anti-constitutional actions” as the party remains locked in a political crisis in Rajasthan.
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal announced that the Congress will hold a nationwide Online Campaign on Sunday which will be called “Speak Up for Democracy”. This, Venugopal claimed, is “against the BJP’s constant attempts to topple elected Govts & misusing constitutional bodies for their dirty political games”.
Venugopal informed that all state units of the Congress will hold protests in front of Raj Bhavans across the country on Monday. The decision was taken to mark the Congress’s protest against the “naked murder of democracy & subverting institutions,” he added.
congress twitted, “BJP vows to be democratic but in reality has left no stone unturned to crush the democratic values in the country. It is against this injustice that we need to raise our voices to protect the constitutional values. Be a part of the campaign tomorrow, starting 10AM.”
Ever since Congress leader Sachin Pilot rebelled against the leadership of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, the stability of the government has been in question.
Meanwhile, the matter regarding the notice issued to Pilot and other rebel MLAs by the Speaker is sub-judice.
