New Delhi: Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Sunday said the Indian democracy is passing through its “most difficult phase”, as she chaired a party meeting during which the roadmap for its agitation over farm bills and alleged atrocities on Dalits was deliberated upon.
Addressing a meeting of AICC general secretaries and state-incharges, which she presided over, Gandhi launched an attack on the government over the three farm laws, the handling of the pandemic, economic slowdown and alleged atrocities against Dalits.
After the meeting, Congress general secretary in-charge (organisation) K C Venugopal said the party has decided to launch a series of programmes against the “anti-farmer, anti-women, anti-poor and anti-people” policies of the BJP-led government at the Centre.
As part of the Diwas, the Congress will hold ‘Satyagraha and Upwas (fasting)’ in every district headquarter between 10 AM to 4 PM against the “anti-farmer and anti-labour laws.”
On November 5, the party will observe ‘Mahila and Dalit Utpidan Virodhi Divas (Stop Atrocities on Women & Dalits Day) which will be held at every state headquarters between 10 AM to 2 PM. The party will highlight the repeated atrocities across the country against the Dailts, particularly against the Hathras victim and her family, Venugopal said.
On the anti-farm laws signature campaign, general secretaries and in-charges were instructed to monitor the campaign on the ground level. (PTI)
