Congress Prez skips 77th Independence Day event at Red Fort; Targets the Centre

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge

New Delhi: Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge skipped the 77th Independence Day event at the iconic Red Fort. Rather he sent out a strong recorded message, attacked the Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the flag hoisting ceremony at the party headquarters here. 

Kharge said, opposition voice is being muzzled, and parliament members are being suspended. My own mike has been muted in the House, he said.

Reacting to the PM's 90-minute-long speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort, Kharge said an impression has been created that developmental work has taken place only in the last few years.

Kharge also referred to the role of former Congress Prime Ministers and their contribution towards the nation building.
