In New Delhi, Congress party leaders and workers staged a silent protest at Jantar Mantar on Sunday. They were protesting against the incidents of violence in Manipur and the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi. The protest was organized by Delhi Congress President Anil Chaudhary, who stated that the purpose of the protest was to highlight the issues affecting the common people.
Chaudhary emphasized that even though Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha membership and house were taken away, he would not be afraid. Rahul Gandhi, the former Congress president, was disqualified from Lok Sabha on March 24 after being convicted in a criminal defamation case. Chaudhary also mentioned that there have been “attacks on the Constitution” and the Congress will continue to raise issues of unemployment and inflation both inside and outside Parliament.
The Congress party demands that the central government respond to questions raised on these issues, according to Chaudhary. He criticized the BJP for comparing the situation in strife-torn Manipur with Rajasthan, where the Congress is in power, stating that the BJP should be ashamed of itself. Since May 3, when ethnic violence broke out in Manipur, numerous people have lost their lives and many others have been injured.
