In a tweet, the party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said: “Congress party with Smt Sonia Gandhi & Rahul Gandhi will march from Jantar Mantar to the Parliament on 6th May”.
Surjewalwa added this ‘Prajatantra Bachao March’ was in protest of Modi Govt failing to do anything about the issues of concern in the nation.
Surjewala said the protest march was organised against the attempts by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government to ‘topple’ duly elected governments as was witnessed in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
