Chandigarh, December 18, 2021: Chandigarh Congress today criticised the protest against Congress leaders by some BJP activists as an attempt to stifle the voice of opposition in Chandigarh.
Terming the protest by the lathi wielding activists as undemocratic, Rajiv Sharma, the spokesperson of Chandigarh Congress said that it shows the fascist mindset of the BJP leaders. Instead of feeling ashamed at failing the people of Chandigarh in the last six years, the BJP is trying to arm-twist the opposition into silence.
Today, the BJP activists tried to stop the Congress leaders from going towards the dumping site in Dadumajra and tried to assault them. The Congress leaders were saved by the timely action of the Police, otherwise any serious mishap could have taken place at the hands of the violent BJP activists.
Reiterating that the Congress party cannot be silenced by such violent but cowardly acts of the BJP. It shall continue to fight for the Constitutional values and democratic traditions of the country, which has come under threat from the ruling dispensation. The voters of Chandigarh are seeing through all this and shall give a fitting response to the BJP in the MC elections.
