Imphal, March 12 2021:
Under the aegis of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee, a peaceful rally was taken out today at Imphal commemorating Dandi March which was a nonviolent civil disobedience movement led by Mahatma Gandhi and in support of the farmers protest against the three Farm Laws.
The rally organised by Manipur Pradesh Congress Seva Dal commenced from Congress Bhavan and proceeded towards MG Avenue to pay tributes to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi.
From there, the rallyists passed through Thangal Keithel, Kasturi Bridge, Nagamapal, took a u-turn from there and made for the starting point again.
Hareshwar Goswami, general secretary (Admn), MPCC; WL Hangshing, general secretary MPCC; P Sharatchandra Singh, secretary MPCC and Th Ithoibi Devi, chief organiser Congress Seva Dal were some Congress leaders who took part in the rally among others.
By the sideline of the rally, Hareshwar Goswami charged that the introduction of Citizenship Amendment Act ( CAA), the controversial three Farm Laws and demonetisation of Rs 500 and 1,000 notes in 2016 confirmed that the BJP Government is anti-people.
