TURA: Former chief minister Mukul Sangma has urged party members to spread the Congress’s ideology of “love and compassion” to save the country from the perils of disunity and disharmony.
Sangma was speaking at the MPCC meet for Garo Hills region at Congress Bhavan here that was also attended by MPCC president Celestine Lyngdoh, working president James Lyngdoh, MLAs Winnerson D Sangma, Dikkanchi D Shira and Miani D Shira and MDC Stevie Marak, besides other district and block Congress leaders.
The leader of the opposition said it was only the ideology of the Congress that can make the country strong and vibrant and lamented that the “very basic ideology is under threat under the present government at the Centre”.
Sangma was happy with the party’s outreach programme to inseminate the principles of the party and enlighten citizens on the misrule of the BJP-led NDA government, “which is giving space to the RSS to spread hatred and mistrust among people”.
Highlighting the restrictions on citizens based on religion, caste and food habits by BJP-sponsored RSS, Celestine said to save the country from all these evils, the Congress would have to be strengthened. He also urged leaders and members to work hard for the upcoming parliamentary election to ensure that the party achieves success.
Among others who also spoke at the programme were Winnerson and Tura unit president Selma D Shira.
