He alleged that the BJP in the name of caste, religion, and language has created a division among the people for political interest. “India is now a weak country in different ways like socially, politically, and economically. For the BJP’s own political gain they are trying to divide the country into pieces. People will be invited to come forward through the program.
As part of the Quit India movement, the march will be held in various districts of the state from August 9 to August 15. So, Congress has decided to unite the people to take the country to the right place and restore democracy. It is very shameful that India is now lagging behind politically, socially, and financially”, he claimed. Meanwhile, Barman has expressed high hope from the protest, that the constitution will be protected and the country will return to its glory.
