BJP-RSS are bent on destroying democracy: Gaurav Gogoi

Gaurav Gogoi with Rahul Gandhi.

BJP-RSS are bent on destroying democracy. Today, ED is misused to put pressure on opposition parties and attempts are made to achieve victory by weakening the institutions. Recently we saw in Chandigarh how BJP got its votes through the election officer. People's faith in democracy is decreasing. Today we did not see this truth of the country in the President's speech.

Why were 146 MPs suspended for asking questions in the last session, asks Gaurav Gogoi

We had hoped that in her address the President would express concern over the attack being carried out by BJP-RSS on democracy, Constitution and Parliament.

This should also have been mentioned in the President's speech in the new House that...

- Why were 146 MPs suspended for asking questions in the last session?

- Why was a woman MP expelled citing the issue of portal password as a matter of national security?

- Why was no action taken against that BJP MP, on whose PASS, panic was spread in the Parliament?

Kanhaiya Kumar on Agnipath Scheme

"The Agnipath Scheme has been introduced in haste. No advice or consultation was sought from the defense committee, parliament, defense experts, or opposition. The ongoing recruitments were suddenly halted. Those who had already been selected, around 1.5 lakh of them, did not receive appointment letters. All of them are struggling continuously. The Agnipath Scheme, connected to our security system, is the foundation of our country’s security. It raises questions of unemployment across the country."

Rahul Gandhi sees massive crowds in Malda, West Bengal.

Jairam Ramesh in a tweet said, "Truly unbelievable scenes in Malda district, West Bengal. The bus yatra has virtually ground to a halt as tens of thousands of people on the streets make it near-impossible for the bus to move."

Rahul Gandhi announces JAY JAWAN campaign to address injustices done to "patriotic youth" in Agneepath scheme

"Leaving 1.5 lakh youth already selected in the armed forces helpless in the name of a temporary recruitment firepath is a grave injustice to them. Today in Katihar, there was a discussion with some enthusiastic youth who had done hard penance for years to join the army. The Agneepath scheme is a betrayal not only of the patriotic youth but also of the sacred sentiments of the country attached to the Indian Army. We have started the Voice of Justice - JAY JAWAN campaign against the injustice being done to these youth," tweeted Rahul Gandhi.
