The leaders of the Indian National Congress had sat on 'Satyagraha' at Mahatma Gandhi's memorial in Rajghat on Monday with the party's demand for protecting the rights of the people as proclaimed in the Indian Constitution. The Satyagraha, that led by party's interim president Sonia Gandhi, has come at the high time when the nation has been quaking down with the uproar and outrageous protests against the controversial amendment of the Citizenship Act that was proposed by the ruling BJP government and enacted as a law after having a clear and convenient passage in both chambers of the Parliament.

The Satyagraha had seen the presence of senior Congress leaders like former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, former party chief Rahul Gandhi and party's general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and the party had claimed that in the line of upholding the path of non-violence cemented by Mahatman Gandhi, it will fight against the Central government that observes dictatorship and to protect the sacred constitution.

India's top opposition party has said that the country is facing widespread resentment against the ruling BJP government where the people across the country have been demanding to maintain the purity of the rights guaranteed by the constitution for the people. By upholding the 'Satyagraha', the party had extended its support and solidarity to the students who voiced against the BJP for unleashing the arbitrary and indiscriminate police forces against the peaceful demonstrators and the ordinary people under the claim of maintaining the law and order which, the party cited as the reason that led to deepening the tensions.

The party reiterated that it would stand against the government for deploying excessive forces and weapons against the silent and peaceful voices across the nation and for barricading and suppressing the people from organizing the peaceful demonstrations against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and BJP's propaganda of rolling out the National Register of Citizens (NRC) which is equally handicapped proposal against the minorities.

The Congress party took to Gandhi's memorial against BJP's Hindutva policies at the same time when the people of Jharkhand had collectively ousted the BJP rule from the state as the results of the election of the state's legislative assembly which have been hitting the headlines since Monday morning had revealed that the Congress alliance would be forming a new government in Jharkhand with huge majority. 

Dented in Haryana,
Denied in Maharashtra,
Defeated in Jharkhand.

That is the story of the BJP in 2019.

All non-BJP parties must raise their sights and rally around the Congress to save the Constitution of India.
