'Gyanesh will have to resign'
Rahul Gandhi said that today we plan to protest at Jantar Mantar. We want to tell the country that Gyanesh Kumar is not the legitimate Chief Election Commissioner. These people are traitors. Gyanesh Kumar will have to resign.
As I said yesterday, around 300 MPs wanted to meet the Chief Election Commissioner, but they were told that we cannot protest there. Therefore today our plan is to go to the designated protest venue, Jantar Mantar and sit together there once again and tell the country that for us Gyanesh Kumar is not the legitimate Election Commissioner of the country. Modi ji, Amit Shah ji, Mohan Bhagwat and Gyanesh Kumar have ruined the democracy of the country. As I said yesterday, those who have done this are traitors to the country, and we will take action against them. I am telling you right now: Gyanesh Kumar has to resign. Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP and leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Every FIR is like a medal: Rahul Gandhi
An FIR was registered against Rahul Gandhi for forcibly entering the Akashvani Bhawan premises. In this matter he said that every FIR registered against me is a medal for me. There are 45 FIRs registered against me. I want 100 FIRs to be filed against me.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had on Wednesday invited the MPs of 'India' alliance to Sagar Ratna restaurant located on Janpath at 1.30 pm. Here all the MPs discussed the future strategy with Bhoj.
We will continue this protest. The repeated mistakes of the Election Commission and the actions being taken at the behest of Modi ji show that they are trying to destroy democracy in the country. They don't even care about the Constitution. Therefore, we have decided that the voice of the people should reach the entire country. This is our job. – Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress President.
