Maha: Massive turnout for Congress’ Tiranga rally in Nanded

Nanded, May 28 (UNI) The Congress party, under the leadership of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Harshavardhan Sapkal, took out the Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Hind rally here on Wednesday to honour the bravery of Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor.
The rally saw participation from state vice president Mohan Joshi, MP Prof Ravindra Chavan, MP Dr Shivaji Kalge, District Congress president Hanumant Patil Betmogrekar, City Congress president Abdul Sattar among others.
Speaking on the occasion, Sapkal said terrorists entered 300 km inside Indian territory at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killed 26 innocent civilians and escaped—this is a failure of the government, he charged.
"How did these terrorists manage to get in so deep and then escape?" he questioned.
He further asked "Why did the BJP government miss the opportunity to take control of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and instead declare a sudden ceasefire? Was the ceasefire declared due to threats from US President Donald Trump?"
The MPCC chief said the rally was organised to honour the bravery of Indian armed forces during Operation Sindoor.
It was also to pay tributes to the martyrs of the India-Pakistan wars, the war with China, the Kargil war, the 1948 war, as well as to former prime ministers Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi and the tourists who were killed in Pahalgam, he said.
"While soldiers protect the country's borders, farmers toil in their lands to feed the nation. The rally expressed gratitude to both," he said.
Talking about Union Home Minister Amit Shah's three-day visit to Maharashtra with a rally in Nanded, Sapkal alleged that he (Shah) did not speak about promises made during election campaigning—such as farm loan waivers, Rs 2,100 for dear sisters or two free domestic gas cylinders.
He also remained silent on sudden announcement of ceasefire, he added.
