Congress MP Naseer Hussain said that the INDIA bloc's 'Ulgulan Rally' in Ranchi is the initial step in combatting what he perceives as fascist forces.
The 'Ulgulan Rally' has been organised amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2024 and revolves around the arrests of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, key figures of the INDIA bloc, who are currently in judicial custody.
Hussain highlighted that the rally marks the fourth gathering of the alliance, following similar events in Mumbai, Patna, and Delhi.
Key leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Tejashwi Yadav, and Akhilesh Yadav are expected to participate in the rally, where they will challenge Prime Minister Modi's governance and demand accountability for his promises.
Jharkhand minister and Congress leader Banna Gupta underscored the rally's objective of exposing the erosion of democratic values and the weakening of constitutional institutions, aiming to convey this message to the entire nation.
The rally is particularly significant in Jharkhand, known for its historical 'Ulgulan' movement led by Bhagwan Birsa Munda, and aims to assert the importance of preserving democratic principles in the face of ideological differences.
Jharkhand Congress in-charge Ghulam Ahmed Mir's presence at the rally reinforces the party's commitment to the cause.
JMM MP Mahua Maji expressed optimism about the rally's success, emphasising the resilience of both Jharkhand and the INDIA bloc in confronting challenges and resisting authoritarian tendencies.
