Kanhaiya Kumar lashes out at BJP after Rahul’s yatra faces hurdles in Assam
Hindustan TimesNew Delhi: Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar on Wednesday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party for creating obstructions in the party’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and said that the BJP is doing it “out of fear” adding that the Congress would not be cowed by these measures. Kumar said that the success of last year’s Bharat Jodo Yatra had troubled the government, causing them to “interfere” in the current Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Following Tuesday’s incident, Sarma said that a first information report would be registered against Gandhi and other Congress leaders for “wanton acts of violence, provocation, damage to public property and assault on police personnel”. Kumar also said that Gandhi’s “five pillars of justice”—justice through representation, justice for women, justice for the youth, justice for farmers and justice for labourers—would strengthen the country and create an egalitarian society.
