Congress in a spot over DMK MP remark on self-determination

IndiaTimes Monday, 11 December 2023
After facing heat generated by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s ‘Sanatan Dharma’ remark, Congress was pulled into another controversy Monday after ally DMK’s MP in Rajya Sabha Mohamed Abdulla quoted Dravidian ideologue Periyar to assert the right of every race to self- determination. The remark, made by Abdulla during the debate on two bills on J&K, was objected to by Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, who said the DMK MP was “abusing the platform” and had “gone too far”. He expunged the remark.

LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
