Kohima, 8 July (MTNews): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on Saturday held a Maun Satyagraha (Silent Protest) in front of the Congress Bhavan in Kohima to express solidarity with Rahul Gandhi. The silent protest, which the communication department of the NPCC said was in support of his fearless and uncompromising fight, saw the involvement of senior party leaders, leaders of frontal organizations, departments and cells, party workers and supporters of the party.
The silent protest held today happened after the Gujarat High Court recently refused to stay Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in the Modi surname defamation case.
The NPCC stated that the entire world has seen how Rahul Gandhi has consistently been questioning and exposing the relationship between Modi and Adani on various platforms. “His courageous pursuit has forced the Prime Minister and BJP to resort to crooked measures leading to his conviction and disqualification from the membership of Lok Sabha,” NPCC claimed.
In spite of all these hardships, NPCC maintained that Rahul Gandhi has been consistent in his “unstoppable fight against the misuse of power by Modi, and in fighting for the truth and raising the issues concerning the people of the country.” The NPCC quoted Rahul Gandhi as saying, “I am fighting for the voice of my country. I am ready to pay any price.”
The NPCC claimed that not just the Congress Party but “the entire nation has condemned this erroneous conviction and disqualification,” and that the party has resolved to stand by Rahul in this noble fight.
“In the present circumstances, we stand together and reiterate that Rahul Gandhi is not alone and that millions of congressmen and crores of people, irrespective of their political affiliations, are with him in this fight for truth and justice,” NPCC added.
