A conspiracy is being hatched to stop Rahul- Pawan Kheda
Congress leader Pawan Kheda said- In the last 10 years, we have seen how communal tension is slowly being created across the country. These people cannot win elections without raising tensions.
His tool kit runs through televised debates, PILs, polarizing bills etc. Hate markets are opening in many places across the country.
In such a situation, Rahul Gandhi wants to go there to meet the families of Sambhal riot victims and alleviate their suffering. A conspiracy is being hatched to stop them. For the last 100 years, the ideology of the Sangh has been trying to stop Congress and Gandhi. But always failed. Neither you could stop that Gandhi nor you can stop this Gandhi.
Manu Singhvi said- Stopping Rahul Gandhi would be undemocratic
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, 'I fully doubt that Rahul Gandhi will not be allowed to go to Sambhal. Many people want to go to Sambhal and Rahul Gandhi is at the forefront. Whatever happened in Sambhal cannot be supported in any way. If you stop people from going there, it is undemocratic.
The commissioner also appealed to Rahul not to get involved
Commissioner of Moradabad Division Anjaney Singh has appealed to Rahul Gandhi not to come in charge on Tuesday evening. The commissioner said – there is tension in the city now. The DM has banned the entry of outsiders till December 10. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is now being urged to cancel his programme.
