Nov 1 Rally: Rahul appeals; BJP keeps eye
On November 1, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called upon individuals who perceive India to be under assault, as well as those disenchanted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, to participate in the INDIA bloc's Save Democracy rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan.
Simultaneously, Congress officials disclosed that former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar would symbolically preside over a mock impeachment of Gyanesh Kumar at party president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence on Friday. Kharge would introduce a resolution, with Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and others joining the simulated debate.
Designating the Ramlila Maidan rally as a march to safeguard democracy, curb electoral fraud, and preserve the Constitution, Gandhi stated in a statement, "This is not a march for any single political party; it's a march for the essence of India." He urged all participants, regardless of their political alignment, who feel that India is under attack, their voice, ideas, or thought process being threatened, to join the movement.
Gandhi also reassured attendees not to worry about the police or any potential lathicharge incidents, asserting that the BJP lacked the courage to attempt such tactics.
