Addressing his first public meeting in Assam as part of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi claimed the Congress recognises the rights of ‘adivasis’ over resources as first dwellers.
Assam Police registered a suo motu FIR against Yatra and its chief organiser KB Byju for allegedly deviating from its permitted route in Jorhat Thursday.
Gandhi also said while he followed the principles of Hindu religion, he did not believe in attempts to make use of matters of faith for personal or political gains.
While communal harmony was the primary theme of the Yatra, the Congress has said the east-west event will also advance ideas of social, economic and political justice.
Gandhi was the first leader to express solidarity and stand by him and his family after he became the target of 'anti-Muslim remarks' in Parliament, Amroha MP adds.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
