Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) staged a protest demonstration at Congress Bhavan, Kohima, on Monday, condemning the repeated attacks on the Rahul Gandhi led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra convoy by BJP workers in Assam over the past three days.
In a press release, NPCC Communications Department stated that its leader, Rahul Gandhi, “championing the causes of the Women, Youth and other marginalized sections of society through this Yatra”, has successfully covered Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh peacefully but regretted that that the yatra in Assam has been marred by “state sanctioned acts of violence”.
NPCC further alleged that the BJP government in Assam is “desperately putting everything at its disposal to stop the Yatra, ranging from tearing down of posters and banners to carrying out multiple planned attacks on the convoy, leading to many casualties among the yatris, including injuries to the Assam PCC President,”
Nagaland Congress, in its press release, reaffirmed its full support and commitment towards the success of the yatra.
