Time ripe for communal forces like BJP-RSS to quit India: Congress

BAREILLY: Commemorating the

75th anniversary of the Quit India Movement

, the district Congress on Wednesday demanded that “communal forces like BJP and

RashtriyaSwayamsevak Sangh

(RSS) to quit India so that people could live in the atmosphere of communal harmony”.

Congress district president

Ram Dev Pandey

said, “Today, we are struggling with the communal forces like the BJP and RSS to maintain communal harmony and promote brotherhood among citizens. The current BJP-RSS regime is as bad as was the British Raj. We need freedom from both BJP and RSS as they have divided the nation on the communal lines. Time is ripe for the BJP-RSSto quit India. We are sure that voters will oust them from the corridors of power in the upcoming elections.”

Buoyed by the victory of Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary Ahmed Patel in a nail-biting contest to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, Pandey said "BJP’s divide and rule strategy failed to work" and Patel was returned to the Upper House.

Earlier in the day, Congress workers and activists gathered at

Shahid Sthal

on the commissioner office premises here. They paid homage to the martyrs of freedom struggle and took out a march from Shahid Sthal to

Gandhi Park

, where senior leaders addressed party workers.
