On Monday, a meeting of the minorities’ cell of the party was organised at Rajiv Bhawan, the headquarters of state unit of Congress party. Speaking on the occasion, the in-charge of the Congress minorities’ cell, Mahendra Singh Bora said that the office bearers of the minorities’ cell of the party should organise street meetings and other programmes in support of Congress party. He said that the BJP Governments at centre and state are working on a vindictive agenda.
Bora added that the union government has rendered millions of people unemployed by bringing in a draconian law like GST. He said that many industries are on the verge of closure and the Union Government is using all kinds of gimmicks to put a veil on its failures. The President of the minorities’ cell, Tahir Ali said that the Congress party has always worked for development of minorities.
He said that the people sitting in power at centre are trying to divide the nation. Making an appeal to the office bearers of minorities cell to work dedicatedly for ensuring the success of Congress candidates, Tahir Ali said that the Congress is the only party in the country which has worked for the unity of different sections of the society.
