Congress to meet Prez Droupadi Murmu over Rahul Gandhi’s conviction

Guwahati: Congress has made the decision to protest Rahul Gandhi’s incarceration and would meet with President Droupadi Murmu among other parties as part of this action.

The opposition party has declared a mass agitation straight after the conviction of Rahul Gandhi in the “Modi surname” statement case and vowed that they will fight not just legally but also politically.

In light of the decision, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge hosted a meeting at his home with the top MPs and party figures.

”After the conclusion of the meeting, the members of the party decided to stage a protest at Vijay Chowk on March 24,” several reports claimed. 

Jairam Ramesh, the AICC general secretary also said that the party will convene a meeting with the other opposition leaders on March 24, and would carry out a protest from Parliament to Vijay Chowk.

Moreover, the opposition parties declared that they would meet with President Droupadi Murmu on the afternoon of March 24 to bring up and discuss the issue.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was given a two-year prison term on March 23 in a criminal defamation case.

He was found guilty by a Gujarat court for remarks he made at an election rally in 2019 regarding the last name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
