The Congress party has intensified its critique of the government, with MP Gaurav Gogoi filing an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha. This move aims to spotlight the government's decision to halt Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, at the Gazipur border in Ghaziabad while en route to Sambhal, a region experiencing significant unrest.
Gogoi argues that blocking Gandhi's visit is a flagrant violation of parliamentary oversight and hampers the opposition's capacity to scrutinize the government. He underscores that Gandhi's mission was to evaluate the ground situation and foster peace, a right he insists was unjustly denied.
Rahul Gandhi has vocally criticized the police's actions as well, citing a breach of constitutional rights. He expressed determination to visit Sambhal, intending to address the people's grievances and investigate the circumstances surrounding the recent clashes that erupted over a controversial mosque survey.
