Congress To Acquire 50 Lakh “Gamochas” With Anti-CAA Messages
Polls to 126-member Assam meeting are anticipated in March-April this 12 months (Document)
New Delhi:
Following Rahul Gandhi’s emphatic statement that the Congress is not going to put into effect the Citizenship (Modification) Act if voted to energy in Assam, the state unit of the party Wednesday steered cadres to gather “Gamochas” (Assamese shawl) with messages a criminal offense.
“I request all Assamese to proportion gamochas with a message on why you don’t want the CAA within the state. It’s possible you’ll signal the gamocha and ship it to us via courier or hand it over to any party employee once they consult with you,” stated the party’s manifesto committee chairman, Gaurav Gogoi, at a gathering in Bihpuria.
The party’s state unit president Ripun Bora stated, “We’ve got our ears at the flooring and be expecting that the party gets a minimum of 50 lakh gamochas from around the state and they all might be displayed on the upcoming memorial”.
After Rahul Gandhi’s no CAA name, the Assam unit of the Congress is devising programmes to make the contentious citizenship legislation the most important election factor.
Polls to 126-member Assam meeting are anticipated in March-April this 12 months.
The law had generated robust protests in Assam.
5 other people had been killed in police firing within the state in December 2019 throughout violent protests towards the Act that seeks to grant Indian citizenship to non-Muslim spiritual minorities from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Addressing his first public rally within the poll-bound Assam at Sivasagar on Sunday, Mr Gandhi had declared that his party will offer protection to each theory of the Assam Accord and can by no means put into effect the Citizenship (Modification) Act if voted to energy within the state.
Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has stated that problems with Citizenship (Modification) Act, Nationwide Check in of Electorate (NRC) and unemployment are not more ballot problems within the state.
However, the Congress, which has shaped a Grand Alliance with AIUDF and 4 different events towards the BJP for the state polls, has signalled that it could soak up the CAA factor prominently within the Assam meeting elections.
PCC leader Mr Bora stated that the CAA might be rooted out and the sacrifices made for saving “Assamese delight” might be immortalised.
