Speaking on the occasion, Harmohinder Singh Lucky, the newly-appointed Chandigarh Congress president said, “The Modi government has miserably failed to manage the economy of the country and the people are forced to bear extreme hardships in their daily lives. The government is now trying to implicate Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a false case, just to divert the attention of the people from his total failures on all fronts.”

Terming the summoning of Rahul Gandhi by the ED as petty vendetta politics, Lucky said a case of money laundering was being manufactured where money is not involved.

Others who participated in the dharna included the presidents and activists of Mahila Congress, Youth Congress, Sewa Dal and members and office bearers of Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee, the district and block Congress committees.

The protesters raised slogans and carried placards denouncing the policies of the Modi government.
