Rahul Gandhi calls students to Raj Ghat today to “protest against hate and violence”
The Congress has decided to stage a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) at Raj Ghat today afternoon. Congress president Sonia Gandhi, former president Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are expected to participate in the “satyagraha”.

Amid criticism over the “absence” of Congress’ top leadership from raging protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former party president Rahul Gandhi, who had been “travelling”, has called the “students and youth of the country to join him at Raj Ghat today”.
The rally was to be held yesterday, but it had to be postponed after permission was denied for the same.
In a tweet this morning, Rahul Gandhi said “it’s critical to show that won’t allow the country be destroyed by hatred” and that it was important to “protest against the hate and unleashed on India by Modi-Shah”.
Dear Students & Youth of ??,
It’s not good enough just to feel ??. At times like these it’s critical to show that you’re ?? & won’t allow ?? to be destroyed by hatred.
Join me today at 3 PM at Raj Ghat, to protest against the hate & violence unleashed on India by Modi-Shah.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are expected to participate in the “non-violent” rally this afternoon.
While the Congress chief promised that the Congress would defend the fundamental rights of the people and uphold the foundational values of the Constitution in a video message, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had joined protesters at India Gate at least twice last week.
ये देश एक साझा रिश्ता है, साझा ख़्वाब है। इस मिट्टी को हमने मेहनतों के रंग से सींचा है। संविधान हमारी शक्ति है।
देश को फूट डालो और राज करो की राजनीति से बचाना है। आइए आज दोपहर 3 बजे से बापू की समाधि राजघाट पर मेरे साथ संविधान पाठ का हिस्सा बनिए।

“The party’s satyagraha will fight against this dictatorial government and to protest Baba Saheb’s sacred constitution,” Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said in a statement.
The protest will be “in line with the path of non-violence”, he said.
However, on Saturday, poll strategist and JD(U) leader Prashant Kishor had slammed the Congress for being “largely absent in the citizen’s fight against CAA-NRC”.
Congress is not on streets and its top leadership has been largely absent in the citizens’ fight against CAA-NRC
The least party could do it to make ALL Congress CMs join other CMs who have said that they will not allow NRC in their states. Or else these statements means nothing https://t.co/EWJLyc3kgR

The nation has been witnessing widespread agitations against the Citizenship Act for over a week. The Act, which facilitates Indian citizenship for non-Muslims from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, has been described by critics as a violation of secular principles of the Constitution.
