Interacting with media persons, the Chief Minister said that Rahul Gandhi's fearless campaigning to save democracy was a hitch to the Union Government and the decision of disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha has been attempted to suppress his voice.
He said Rahul Gandhi had started ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ to raise awareness of the misdeeds of the Union Government. He said that people would give befitting reply to BJP in the coming elections in the country. He urged all opposition parties to unite to save the democracy.
On the occasion, Anand Sharma said that Rahul Gandhi has every right to speak in Parliament, but the Union government had targeted him under a conspiracy. Expressing his faith in the judiciary Anand Sharma said that the decision of the lower court would not last in the higher court and the Congress party would fight a political and legal battle against it.
