New Delhi: On the Day of Interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi went down a lot on the government of Narendra Modi, son and party leader Rahul Gandhi also crashed into BJP who accused double standards.
Without naming BJP, he said, “Today, we heard many people who say – they want a fair country.
And then they treat people unfairly.
They say they want India who respect women and then they themselves do not respect women.
Then They said – they want a secular country and within themselves, they see religion differently.
“Rahul Gandhi discussed people after launching the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Gandhi Park in Mananthavadi during his visit to Lok Sabha’s constituency in Kerala on Monday.
He said the Mahatma Gandhi statue did not only represent someone but it represents someone’s actions.
“So, when we see this statue, we don’t just remember Mahatma Gandhi Ji, we also remember his actions and the way he lived his life.” Rahul Gandhi said the strong thing about Mahatma Gandhi was that he did whatever action he said.
“So, if he said, India must be a tolerant country, he behaves in a tolerant manner.
He must treat women respectfully, he treats a woman respectfully.
If he says that India must be a secular country, he himself behave in a secular way “He said Mahatma Gandhi had Gita, the Koran, the Bible and Teacher Granth Sahib as a guide.
“So, for our leader Mahatma Gandhi, India is not something outside it.
It’s not a geographical line.
It’s not a geographical line how to live your life.
It is a way to behave with other people and I think, in that case is a big lesson for the country We.
“Then he went to attack BJP and the Modi government without giving their names.
He said today we heard many people, who said they want a fair country but they treat people who are unfair.
“So for me, this statue is far more about practice.
Instead of about personality.
Less than the form of Mahatma Gandhi and more about the way he lives his life.
This is a guide for us,” he added.
Previously Sonia Gandhi, in an article published in English every day, also slammed the MOD government.
When the government “attacks” Parliament and “trampling” His tradition, “Enciting” Democracy, trying to “violate” the constitution and institutional autonomy of “shackles”, countries need to introspect what freedom means them, he said.
He alleged that current reporters did not have the freedom to write, TV channeled the freedom to show the truth, and the writer and the freedom of thinkers to express themselves.
He also alleged parliamentels did not have the freedom to expres.
Their scenery, people affected by lack of oxygen and GST do not have the freedom to speak and countries, in the federal structure, do not have the freedom to demand their rights.
He said the progress achieved in the past few decades has been reversed under the current government that pamper themselves in “hollow slogans, event management and brand development” with governance costs.
“After some decades of progress towards India our dreams, why is our democracy in danger? That is because the realization has been replaced by a hollow slogan, management of events and brand development only to benefit those in power – at the expense of government.” That’s because symbolism has won over action.
which means.
That’s because democracy tries to be replaced by autocracy.
The current symbolism and reality is that the parliamentary house was converted into a museum, “said Sonia Gandhi in the article shared by the Congress.” When we start independence in the 75th year of India, we owe to our freedom fighters to cancel the damage to our Republic, “said the President of Congress.
