She will join the Congress cadre’s protest against the BJP over the latter’s alleged attacks on the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam.
In her X (formerly Twitter) statement earlier today, Ms. Sharmila stated, “The Congress party strongly condemned extremist BJP goons’ attack on Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam. The BJP is not able to digest the fact that the Yatra has been cruising unstoppably, uniting hearts and inspiring people, moving unopposed under Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. No wonder, the corrupt and the autocratic regime of Hemanth Biswa Sarma has been repeatedly plotting these misdeeds in the past few days.”
“As a mark of protest on January 22 at 7 pm, the Congress cadre, functionaries and all affiliated associations and wings, are requested to sit down at Mahatma Gandhi statues in State and district headquarters and stage peaceful and silent protests. Both myself and the AICC in-charge will participate in Visakhapatnam’s protest at 7 pm,” Ms. Sharmila stated.
