Srinagar: Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ideology “divides India”, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said he and his party would continue to fight it as BJP is suppressing opposition’s voice and they are not being allowed to raise important issues like farm bills, snooping, unemployment and corruption, in Parliament.
Addressing a public rally in Kashmir on Tuesday said, “BJP has not only launched an assault on Jammu and Kashmir but on the entire country including on the judiciary. There is a direct attack on Kashmir’s people but other states like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and other states are being attacked indirectly,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi said that he demands restoration of full statehood for Jammu & Kashmir and free and fair elections here. This was Gandhi’s first visit to the Union Territory since the abrogation of Article 370.
Dubbing his visit as a “homecoming”, he said, “I understood the people of Kashmir. Our family lives in Delhi now but before that, we used to live in Allahabad and I feel, there is a bit of Kashmiriyat is also within me.”
“We want to raise these issues but we are not allowed to speak in Parliament on issues like farm bills, Pegasus, corruption, Rafale deal and unemployment,” he said during his speech.
“I fight against Modi and his ideology that is dividing the nation. I will continue to fight against his divisive ideology,” Gandhi added.
He further said that they (media) now have a fear that their job is at stake when they do their job.
