SHILLONG, NOV 3: Meghalaya Pradesh Youth Congress (MPYC) led by its president Richard Marak staged a protest at Congress Bhawan, Shillong on Thursday against the unlawful detention and denial of permission to AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi to visit the bereaved families of ex-servicemen Subedar RK Grewal who committed suicide on the issue of ‘One Rank One Pension’.
The demonstration was also attended by James S Lyngdoh who is the MPYC working president,
MPCC general secretaries Joplin Shylla, president of Meghalaya Pradesh Mahila Congress along with her members, and Seva Dal members, leader of DCC and BCC and large number of Congress members were also present.
The demonstrators strongly condemned the detaining of Gandhi and other AICC leaders along with the family members of the ex-army man.
Some of the placards that the MPYC members held read ‘India is going through an undeclared emergency.’ ‘What would you call a government that imposes its political ideology on people dictating their way of living?
‘Isn’t it authoritarian, dictatorial and fascist attitude of the Modi and Bharatya Janata Party (BJP)? ‘What is wrong to offer condolence to a soldiers grieving family? It is in Indian culture.’
It also read ‘It is not only an insult to their family but the army. Heights of Tyranny.’– By Our Reporter
