The Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee along with the rest of the party units in the country on Wednesday joined the ‘Maun Satyagraha’ agitation programme here at Agartala Gandhighat against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from the Parliament.
The Congress President Ashish Kumar Saha accompanied by the All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Szarita Laitphlang, MLA Sudip Roy Barman and other leaders joined the programme.
Leading the event, the PCC president Ashish Kumar Said termed Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as ‘illegal’. He said, “Prime Minister Narednra Modi and his government hatched a deep conspiracy against Gandhi by disqualifying him from the Parliament ahead of the Lok Sabha election.”
Meanwhile, the party MLA Sudip Roy Barman said, “The democracy of the country is in danger, where people are not allowed to speak and agitate against the wrong policy of the government. Rahul Gandhi has raised some questions for the people of the country in Parliament and for this, a conspiracy was hatched against him, and lost his post as MP.”
