“Beginning of fight against fascist forces”: Congress MP Naseer Hussain on India bloc’s ‘Ulgulan Rally’

Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], April 21 (ANI): Ahead of the INDIA bloc’s ‘Ulgulan Rally’ in Ranchi, Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain said on Sunday that it’s the beginning of the fight against the fascist forces.

The grand rally being held amidst the Lok Sabha polls is themed around the arrest of the ex-Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and AAP’s Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, two of the key faces of the INDIA bloc. Both Hemant Soren and Kejriwal are in judicial custody.

“It will be the fourth rally (of alliance) after Mumbai, Patna, and Delhi. It’s not just about the trumpeting but the beginning of the fight against the fascist forces. Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, and other leaders will join the rally. PM Modi has been the PM since 2014, he has made many promises to the people of the country, and this is the time for him to present the report card and vision for the coming days,” Hussain said.

Jharkhand minister and Congress leader Banna Gupta told ANI that the message from the rally will be conveyed to the entire country how democratic values are being violated.

“This is the land of ‘Ulgulan’ and Bhagwan Birsa Munda and the message from here will be conveyed to the entire country. The message will be that the constitutional institutions are being weakened, democracy is being weakened, and democratic values are being violated. This is a democratic nation and we have given the lesson of truth and non-violence to the world and having ideological differences is a symbol of a healthy democracy. But now, having ideological differences means you’ll have to be behind bars and suffer,” he said.

Jharkhand Congress in-charge Ghulam Ahmed Mir arrived in Ranchi earlier today to attend the Ulgulan rally.

JMM MP Mahua Maji said that opposition leaders are optimistic about the success of the mega rally, adding that neither Jharkhand nor the INDIA bloc will bow down.

Posters of INDIA bloc leaders, including Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, party MP Rahul Gandhi, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana Soren were seen put up in Ranchi ahead of the mega rally scheduled at Prabhat Tara Ground.
