SRINAGAR: In the wake of AICC leader Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification from the Lok Sabha, Jammu and Kashmir Congress on Friday held a silent protest dharna against an alleged politics of vendetta and suppression of voice of dissent and opposition especially the Congress party. A large number of congress workers and top leadership of the party led by PCC President Vikar Rasool Wani accompanied by Working President Raman Bhalla and other leaders held a silent protest at Shaheedi Chowk Jammu outside the party office to express solidarity with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The protestors wore black badges and masks to convey a message of denial of right to speak and express views, as guaranteed by the constitution in a democracy under the Modi regime and the politics of vendetta through different agencies against the opposition leaders especially the Congress party. The protestors sent a message of solidarity to their leader and the determination of the Congress party to fight against such policies of Modi Govt. Reacting to the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha, JKPCC Chief said that Rahul Gandhi was the voice of poor, youths and common man in the Lok Sabha which shall be missing. He used to fearlessly raise the voice of the common man, especially the poor, youth and women and against those who have been looting the taxpayers money. “He has been punished for speaking the truth and the voice of the common people in this country. We stand in solidarity with our leader,” he added. Rasool also said that Congress party shall not be cowed down by such tactics and the politics of vendetta by the BJP and Modi Govt. and would fight for the freedom of speech and expression available to the citizens under the constitution. “Congress party stands guarantee to the freedom attained by the countrymen under the leadership of the congress party, of which freedom of speech and expression is the most fundamental right,” he said adding that BJP Govt. wants to crush the voice of opposition and wants to deter them from raising voice against Modi Govt. which is very dangerous and the congress party shall continue to fight against such policies to protect and safeguard the rights of the citizens.
