Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) vice president Lamtinthang Haokip on Friday alleged that the conviction and disqualification of Rahul Gandhi is nothing but an intentional target and a sinister ploy to save Adani which obviously demonstrated that the Prime Minister does not vehemently want his relationship to Adani to be further exposed.
He was speaking at a press conference on ‘Jai Bharat Satyagraha’ in protest against the alleged erroneous conviction and disqualification of Rahul Gandhiat Kangpokpi District Headquarters by the Sadar Hills District Congress Committee.
The event was also organised to express the Congress party's resolve to keep raising the voice of the people against the alleged blatant looting of the people's money and the nation's wealth by ‘Modani’.
Lamtinthang said that the press conference is all about launching the ‘Jai Bharat Satyagraha’ which means to stand by the truth in every book and corner of India.
The Sadar Hills District Congress Committee strongly condemned the way the BJP tried to strangulate the voice of truth, and the voice of Rahul Gandhi who always speaks the truth.
The BJP fears that if at all Rahul Gandhi is given another chance in the parliament, he will dig up all the misgovernance of the BJP and therefore he was convicted and disqualified purposely, he alleged.
He recalled that the former AICC President was mocked, trolled, and insulted from every angle and means with the help of IT Cells of the BJP, its Bhakts, and the Godi Media, and having not conceded, they started sending ED, CBI, IB, then mute his microphone not allowing to speak in the parliament.
“Even after that, having no options, a case which on the complainant's request had been stayed was re-opened and a trial was initiated and ultimately convicted and within a fortnight disqualified as MP, which clearly shows that Rahul Gandhi is only a target, but the real aim is to save Adani,” he added.
He said that the BJP Government in the Centre and the state looks “as if you question our wrongdoings, we will target you but all cases disappear if you join the BJP's washing machine.”
He further said that the country as well as many states including Manipur is facing a serious crisis.
“We need a healing process to restore peoples’ trust and confidence but it is unfortunate that the BJP Govt does not believe in building a consensus to resolve the issues, but follows a policy of composition and confrontation,” he added.
“It is also in solidarity of our party leader and former AICC president Rahul Gandhi, Congress leaders and workers at the centre and the state as well as in all the districts and blocks and booth level,” he said.
He also said that the BJP Government has not only failed to deliver on its promises but has also aggravated a grim situation by its insensitivity, flawed policies and divisive agenda and such callous and undemocratic attitude of the BJP Government in the center and Manipur is a matter of serious national and state concern.
The Sadar Hills District Congress Committee vehemently condemned the working style and the anti-people Government of BJP in the centre and the state, he asserted.
The event was attended by office bearers of the Sadar Hills District Congress Committee, District Mahila Congress Committee, District Youth Congress, and the three Block Congress Committee including block Mahila and the AYCs.
