Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming he will be “thrown” out of power by a “storm” created by the voices of poor, Dalits, farmers and workers in the country. Leading a Halla Bol protest by party workers, Rahul said that the people of the country understood the current situation in the country and the Congress and its frontal organisations have a job to remind them that they need not fear any force but challenge it.
“A voice of poor, Dalits, farmers and workers will be heard in the country. It will gather momentum gradually and turn into a storm that will throw Narendra Modi out of Prime Minister’s residence,” Rahul Gandhi said addressing partymen at the protest at Jantar Mantar. The SC/ST department of the Congress organised the protest against alleged atrocities on Dalits.
The protest was also attended by many senior Congress leaders including P Chidambaram, KC Venugopal, Nitin Raut, Sushmita Dev and Delhi unit president Anil Kumar.
“Our job is to remind people of India what Baba Saheb and Mahatma Gandhi said. They said - do not be afraid of anyone. These cowards and hollow people will run away, the day country starts fighting them. It’s job of Congress, SC/ST department, Youth Congress and NSUI to remind people of India that they can challenge any force without fearing it,” Rahul Gandhi said.
He claimed that the Constitution is under attack from all sides in the country. “We are not allowed to speak in Parliament if we raise the issues of farmers, Dalits, backward classes and women,” he alleged.
“For the first time in the history of the country, parliamentarians were beaten and shoved in the Rajya Sabha,” he alleged further.
