Guwahati: Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh has alleged that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is making efforts to obstruct the party's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra program scheduled for January 23 in Guwahati.
Addressing a press conference in Assam's Lakhimpur, Ramesh stated that despite the challenges posed by the Chief Minister, the Congress is determined to proceed with its Yatra as planned. He mentioned that obstacles have been placed, and two letters have been sent to the Chief Minister seeking resolution.
Ramesh informed that Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia is engaged in talks with the police and the Chief Minister's office to facilitate the event in Guwahati. Rahul Gandhi, during the Yatra, will address youth concerns about unemployment and the education system, concluding with a press conference.
The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, aligned with the Constitution's Preamble, aims to deliver social, economic, and political justice. Ramesh emphasized the interconnectedness of justice for women, youth, farmers, and laborers with the environment. He criticized the weakening of environmental laws and agencies, questioning the Prime Minister's commitment to environmental protection.
Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to visit Bordowa Satra in Assam's Nagaon district on January 22, the ninth day of the Yatra, to pay homage to Sri Sankardev, the founder of the Satra. The Yatra will continue in north Bengal on January 28, with a focus on justice and environmental issues.
