With Rahul Gandhi set to appear before the Enforcement Directorate on June 13 in a money laundering case, the Congress on Thursday has decided that all its top leaders and MPs would take out a protest march to the agency headquarters in New Delhi and offices in other states to stage "satyagraha" against what the party is calling a바카라 웹사이트"misuse" by the central government.
The protest plan was finalized at a virtual meeting of the party's state unit presidents and general secretaries and in-charges of various states that was convened by the general secretary (organization) K C Venugopal.바카라 웹사이트He said in Delhi, all the Congress MPs and Congress Working Committee (CWC) members will march to the ED office against its "misuse" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.
Congress whip in Lok Sabha Manickam Tagore tweeted, "I will join and march towards ED office in Delhi. No FIR. Bogus case to malign an honest leader. 9 AM 13th June.
