Party asked public for “Second Freedom Struggle” to combat the ideology of “hate and violence” of BJP, and spoke of the “blatant hypocrisy” of the RSS which vilified Gandhi and his thoughts, but now proclaim to be his champion.
Randeep Singh Surjewala, Congress party spokesperson addressing a press conferenc, said that the second freedom struggle will be against the Modi government for practising politics of “hatred, divisiveness, fear, polarisation, crushing dissent and debates”.
“The Modi government is against India’s plurality and is indulging in politics of revenge, falsehood, and betrayal. It is easy to talk about Gandhiji in speeches. It’s just political opportunism,” he said.
According to The Indian Express, “The CWC meeting was presided over by Congress president Rahul Gandhi and attended by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh among others.”
