COIMBATORE: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said BJP has unleashed an attack on the soul of the country, the Constitution, and sought to change it if it returned to office again.
Launching a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a public meeting in Coimbatore on Friday, Rahul Gandhi said the 2024 Lok Sabha polls was not a normal election, but an ideological battle.Sharing the stage with chief minister and DMK president M K Stalin, Rahul said, INDIA bloc would win the battle.
Rahul warned that BJP was keen on changing the Constitution if it forms govt for the third term. He said the Constitution of India was not an ordinary book, but the soul and voice of the people of India. “That soul and voice is being attacked by the Prime Minister and RSS,” he said. It was the Constitution that protected the rights of Tamil people, their history, language and their way of life, he said. It is imperative that BJP be ousted to protect the rights of Tamils as well as those of others, Rahul said.
They are systematically attacking the democratic system, using agencies such as ED and CBI, deploying intimidation as a key tool, Rahul said. “These agencies are not personal property of the Prime minister,'” he charged. He said it was a battle between those who want to protect the democratic set up of India and those who want to destroy it. In the end, those who are fighting to protect the constitution and democracy would win, he said.
Rahul then warned that the RSS was infiltrating all government agencies, including the legal system and election commission. RSS is placing their people in all these institutions as part of its design. “This is an attack on the very idea of our nation, an attack on the Union of India,” he said.
