New Delhi: The Congress has chalked out a strategy to corner the Modi government on the key issues of economic policy, farmers and women's safety in the coming weeks. The party has asked its state units to organise tractor rallies across the country in each state.
The Congress said that the party's future course of action has been decided on the anti-farmer, anti-women, anti-labour and anti-poor policies and actions of the BJP-led Central government and the State governments.
In an internal circular issued by the party on Sunday, K.C. Venugopal said, "It has been decided to observe October 31, the Birth Anniversary of Sardar Patel and martyrdom day of Indira Gandhi as 'Kisan Adhikar Divas'.
The party will hold Satyagraha and fast in every district headquarter between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. against the anti-farmer and anti-labour laws.
On November 5, the party will observe Mahila and Dalit Utpidan Virodhi Divas (Stop Atrocities on Women & Dalits Day). On this day, state-level dharnas (protests) will be held at every state headquarters between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., highlighting the repeated atrocities around the country against the Dalits, particularly against the Hathras victim and her family.
On the day of Diwali festival, which falls on November 14, coinciding with the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru, a symposium on the 'Nehruvian Ideology & Nation-building' will be held on November 13 in every state headquarters. In this symposium, the contribution of the Nehruvian ideology in building a composite society and institutions that are the foundations of Modern India will be traced and deliberated.
