Mangaluru, Jul 12: Several Congress leaders and party workers observed 'maun satyagraha' (silent protest) on Wednesday July 12 to express solidarity with Rahul Gandhi, who, according to them, was ‘erroneously’ convicted in a defamation case and disqualified from Lok Sabha (LS).

Addressing the gathering before beginning the protest, former MLA J R Lobo said, “We feel that democracy is in peril due to the present union government. The BJP government in the center is involved in hate politics against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He is striving to save the democracy of this country. In this regard, he took a padayatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. When Rahul Gandhi raised his voice against the undemocratic rule, he was disqualified as a member of the parliament.”

The protest began after the garlanding of statue of Mahatma Gandhi in front of the Town Hall.

Congress leader from Uttar Pradesh Nakul Dubey said, "The BJP government is selling the nation but the Congress wants to save the country. The BJP is selling the country to capitalists.”

He also added that Rahul Gandhi will be the next prime minister of the country.

Congress leaders Prakash Salian, Abdul Saleem, Abdul Rauf, Shalet Pinto, Sabitha Misquith, T K Sudhir, Subodh Alva, and others were present.

    In all democratic countries even the most dreaded murderer is given an opportunity by the court to speak for himself and to hear his side of the story. But here no chance is given to Rahul Gandhi to defend his side of the story but straight away disqualified from the parliament like in a dictatorial one sided biased rule. It proves that the ruling dispensation is nervous and insecure about Rahul Gandhi.

    Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Modi surname doesn’t qualify for immediate disqualification from Lok Sabha without serving him notice for clarification as per the constitutional and parliamentary rules. As it is his remarks doesn’t invite disqualification as it was his observations within the democratic right and norms. His intention was not to intimidate who are innocent with Modi surnames but those with Modi surname and with offence. There is a clear distinction on point view as a responsible opposition leader and should not be treated as generic accusation.

    @ manna, Kuala, Rahul Gandhi's campaigns in Karnataka trounced the belligerent, stubborn party of the bhrasta jumla paapies, later the people of Karnataka washed the streers in cow urine and in cow dung where ever chaiwala campaigned.
