A delegation of INDIA bloc leaders met President Droupadi Murmu Friday evening and handed over a memorandum to her with four demands over the alleged “vote chori”. Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi said he was “shocked” that the President “did not deny” the election theft charge.
We appeal to your conscience, to your sense of justice, and to your abiding duty to the people of this Republic. Do not let their voice be silenced. We expect you as President of our Republic to discharge your duty to protect the Constitution of India decisively.
It further said, “We approach you because, in moments when every other door has been closed, the people of India look to the Office of the President as the final guardian of that covenant.
Carrying a big “Save Democracy” banner, INDIA bloc MPs marched from Parliament House to Vijay Chowk where they were stopped by the police, who had put up barricades. After that, the delegation, whose names had been sent to Rashtrapati Bhawan, headed to meet President Murmu to hand over a memorandum on the “vote chori” issue. Gandhi later said, “The President asked for evidence of ‘vote chori’ which we will provide. “There is a much deeper problem than Gyanesh Kumar, and it requires termination of this current government,” the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said. This is worth fighting for and dying for, he said. “If we continue to push the way we have in the last three-four days, I guarantee this government will fall,” the former Congress chief said.
