Imphal, July 27 2022:
A team of Congress leaders from Manipur led by Congress Working Committee (CWC) member and ex-deputy CM Gaikhangngam are taking part in the protests being staged by the party in New Delhi against the Enforcement Directorate summoning and harassing Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in connection with the National Herald case.
Speaking to The People's Chronicle via telephone, All India Mahila Congress Committee secretary Kim Haokip informed that the ongoing protests are against the BJP's deliberate violation of democracy and arbitrary harassment of opposition leaders using government machineries and agencies.

The Narendra Modi's government act of harassing Congress leader Sonia Gandhi through the Enforcement Directorate by summoning the latter repeatedly in connection with the National Herald case in the name of a mock-up money laundering case is unreasonable.
It is further condemnable of the Delhi police behaving vulgarly with the Congress workers who were peacefully protesting in the national capital, in addition to arresting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and detaining him at a local police station for hours.
She continued that the BJP questioned why Congress was protesting on the streets.
However, the protest is not staged by Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, who continues to visit the Enforcement Directorate to cooperate with the investigation, whenever summoned.
The protest, however, is against the harassment of the party leader.
BJP is simply taking political revenge on the opposition despite Sonia Gandhi being innocent of the charges.
Thus, the peaceful protests staged by the Congress workers will surely bear fruit, she asserted.
Kim then condemned hiking of GST rates on daily essential items by the BJP government and questioned why BJP is running away from debating this issue in the parliament.
