Congress stages massive protest against PM Modi’s policies

A large-scale protest was organized in the city on Saturday by the Khairatabad (Hyderabad Central) District Congress Committee, targeting the Central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over alleged compromises of India’s national interests.

The protest march was carried out from Babu Jagjivan Ram Statue to Jawaharlal Nehru Statue in Hyderabad. A giant 30-meter banner reading ‘The Prime Minister is in Danger’ was displayed during the rally and attracted great public attention.

Speaking at the meeting, Khairatbad DCC president Motha Rohit Mudiraj alleged that Prime Minister Modi was endangering India’s sovereignty, especially regarding the India-US trade agreement. He also alleged that the central government had bowed to US pressure in connection with legal cases reportedly involving industrialist Gautam Adani.

Senior Congress leaders including AICC Secretary for Telangana Sachin Sawant, former MP V. Hanumantha Rao, party leaders Feroz Khan and Vijaya Reddy were present at the protest.
