Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday reacted strongly to Haryana minister Anil Vij’s statement saying not to allow Rahul Gandhi to enter the state.
The CM termed Vij’s statement as a futile move to stifle the voice of an angry nation, and warned that such steps would only strengthen the resolve of the Congress to fight for the rights of the farmers. “Is there a jungle raj in Haryana that you can stop anyone, least of all, a duly elected leader of a national political party, from entering the state or from raising his voice against the injustice being meted out to farmers?” the Chief Minister asked the Haryana government.
“The Congress will not be cowed down by such autocratic and undemocratic actions of the BJP-led governments, either at the Centre or in the states,” said the Chief Minister, adding that his party will not let the BJP suppress the voice of dissent, which is the right of every Indian
