Addressing the gathering on the occasion, Congress Legislature Party leader Alamgir Alam said that the party condemns the disgusting act of killing democratic values and weakening the constitutional institutions.

Lone Loksabha MP of the party from the State, Geeta Koda said that the game started by the BJP during the Corona crisis is wrong. Efforts to strangle democracy should be stopped, he added.
