In a bid to get battle-ready for challenges ahead, the Congress will decide on an action plan for the next year at its CWC meeting named ‘Nav Satyagraha Baithak’ being held in Karnataka’s Belagavi to mark the 100th anniversary of the Belgaum session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi.
The opposition party has asserted that the “insult” to B R Ambedkar by Home Minister Amit Shah will be taken up for deliberation at Belagavi and that there will be a “strong follow-up” on the issue.
In a post on X, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, “Mahatma Gandhi took over as President of @INCIndia on Dec 26th, 1924 – 100 years ago at what was then called Belgaum, now Belgavi. It was a historic session.” “Today the Extended Working Committee is holding its Nava Satyagraha Baithak at that very same place. It will rededicate itself to protect, preserve, and promote Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy – which is under systematic assault by the ideological brotherhood that fought him bitterly, and that attacked the Constitution when it was adopted,” he said.
