New Delhi: Congress on Sunday said for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP Government in power to decide whether political demonstrations must be banned after the spread of the Omicron variant of Coronavirus and confirms that it will follow any decisions taken.
Asked whether the congress would demand that there be a ban on demonstrations, the Chief of Congress Spokesman Randeep Surjewala at a press conference told the government to decide.
“Who is in power – BJP.
Who is Prime Minister – Narendra Modi Ji.
Who rules in Uttar Pradesh – BJP.
Who has available scientific data – Modi Government.
For whom information on-the-ground threat omicron is available – Government,” He said.
“Responsibility, authority to impose restrictions has been given to whom in the law and constitution – the government.
Who has the power to stop the demonstration or leave it – the government.
So how will the Congress decide or the Samajwadi Party, or the Samajwadi Party, or the Samajwadi Party, or the Teacher Samaj or leave the party who decides? “Surhjwala said.
This decision must be taken by the Prime Minister and Minister of Chief, after knowing all the facts, he said.
“Our work, like a conscious citizen, is to wake up the country and the government, as did Rahul Gandhi continuously since the first wave of Coronavirus,” Surjewala said.
The decision that the MOD government will take, given the interests of the people, the congress will follow it, he asserts.
Asked whether Rahul Gandhi, as in West Bengal poll, will take the initiative not to hold a demonstration, Surjewala said that everyone must be responsible.
“In Bengal, when Rahul Gandhi made this decision …
we have to suffer politically.
We have to pay political prices for it even today, so we have paid the price.
But both the government of Bengal or the state government thinking about it, so …
I will humbly tell citizens and political parties that the prohibition cannot be for one person, “he said.
“The ban on Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi and the exception to Modi Ji to use government money, installing government buses, blowing crores rupees and accommodating Rallies and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s tires, this can’t happen, this is a double standard,” said Surjewala.
Responding to another question about an event organized by Congress in Lucknow, he said that if Priyanka Gandhi empowered women and women through the marathon, the prohibition and party accepted it but for the mod to 25,000 sports people were called and it was fine.
“So one criterion for Priyanka Gandhi and other criteria for Modi Ji to collect 25 thousand sports people,” Surjewala said.
