Mumbai, Sep 1 : All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Malikarjun Kharge on Friday cautioned the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) parties that they should be prepared for more arrests and raids following the success of its meetings held so far.
It can be measured by the fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his subsequent speeches has not just attacked INDIA alliance but has also compared the name of our beloved country with a terrorist organisation and a symbol of slavery, Kharge said.
Speaking at the INDIA Alliance meeting here, he said ‘The more ground our alliance gains, the more the BJP Government at the Centre will misuse agencies against our leaders’.
It has done the same in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bengal. In fact, last week, it was done in Jharkhand and in Chhattisgarh.
“Today every section of our society — be it the farmers, youth, women, the marginalised, middle class, public intellectuals, NGOs and even journalists — all have been at the receiving end of BJP’s authoritarian misrule,” Kharge said.
“140 Crore Indians are looking towards us with hope to relieve them of their miseries”, the Congress President said.
He further said the communal poison that the BJP and RSS have spread over the last 9 years is now seen in hate crimes against innocent train passengers and school children.
“It is no surprise that when people involved in gruesome rape are released and felicitated in one part of the county, it encourages horrific crimes and parading of a women naked in the other.
In Modi ji’s India, the wife of a Kargil brave heart is also not spared.
It is the BJP government’s apathy towards the marginalised that makes their leaders urinate on poor tribals and Dalits and the culprits are left to roam freely, ” he commented.
