RANCHI, 11-02-2023 : Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, attacked the BJP-led government at the centre on Saturday, saying there was no such thing as free speech in the nation.
In his speech to a crowd in the Sahebganj district of Jharkhand, Kharge lamented the deletion of some of his Parliamentary remarks. “Neither inside the Parliament nor outside, there is freedom of speech…
He alleged that those who dared to speak out were imprisoned.
He claimed that although the BJP took office in 2014 on a platform of fighting inflation, since then, the cost of basic necessities and poverty has increased.
According to Kharge, Congress built the nation’s infrastructure and battled for India’s independence.
Speaking at Gumani Ground in Pakur, the Congress president announced the party’s 60-day “Haath Se Haath Jodo” mass outreach campaign.
In the course of the initiative, Congress representatives will knock on doors to inform people about the Center’s allegedly “anti-people” policies.
Avinash Pandey, the general secretary of the Congress, Rajesh Thakur, and state minister Alamgir Alam were among the officials who were present.
