Kharge attacks Govt on Cong Foundation Day

 

 

 

CONGRESS President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday attacked the Government, saying the fundamentals of India are being constantly attacked and the society is being “divided by hate.”

Addressing party leaders and workers at the 138th foundation day of the Congress at the AICC headquarters here, he said the people of the country are being hit by price rise and unemployment but the Government is not bothered. He also said that India progressed due to Congress’ approach of inclusion and taking everyone along.

India not only emerged as a successful and strong democracy but within a few decades, it became a super power in economic, nuclear and strategic areas, Kharge said. “This did not happen on its own. This happened due to Congress’ faith in democracy and our inclusive ideology of taking everyone along and due to our full faith in the Constitution that gives equal rights and opportunities to all,” he told the gathering. Kharge also unfurled the party’s flag at the AICC headquarters in the presence of former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, who was again seen sporting a white T-shirt amid the winter chill, and top Congress leaders and workers. “I am proud that I am a part of such an organisation which chose the path of truth, non-violence and struggle in every situation and always took every step in public interest,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted in Hindi while sharing a video of pictures of previous Congress foundation days during the freedom struggle.

Kharge tweeted, “Indian National Congress has always worked for the well-being and progress of the people of India. We firmly believe in equality of opportunity guaranteed in political, economic and social rights, enshrined in the Constitution of India. My best wishes on Congress Foundation Day.” He said the foundation of the Congress was kept on this day in 1885 in Mumbai.
