The PMO decides media headlines – Gehlot
Paid tribute to former PM Indira Gandhi
The Sunday Mail
Jaipur. Senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot, shared his views on several political issues with journalists on Wednesday. He began by remembering former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her birth anniversary, paying tribute to her, and sharply targeting the current central government. Gehlot said, “Today is the birthday of a great leader whose name has become history in the country and the world. Indira Gandhi sacrificed her life for the unity and integrity of the country. She became a martyr for the nation. The country can never forget her. She was a great leader who divided Pakistan, changed the geography of the subcontinent, and created Bangladesh. Indira Gandhi established herself as the messiah of the poor. We must carry forward the policies, principles, and programs of Indira Gandhi and the Congress and pass them on to the new generation. This is essential, because the way the BJP is trying to weaken, distort, and distort history is a dangerous game.” The new generation should know that our golden history, which was one of sacrifice and dedication during the freedom movement, should be our foundation and we should resolve to serve the country. This should be our spirit.
Regarding the emergence of a video from Jaipur regarding the SIR, Gehlot told the media that
A huge issue has arisen, and the Election Commission is largely at fault. Reports coming from across the country are worrying. This situation has arisen due to the Election Commission’s mistakes. The Election Commission is working in collusion with the government. The Chief Election Commissioner’s behavior towards the opposition is shocking. This has never happened before. People across the country are becoming nervous, fearing that their names might be struck off. I have read such news, people are saying that their names might be struck off. Now it is not known why an atmosphere of fear has been created. On Anta’s victory, Gehlot said that it is a victory of our government’s schemes. Go to any area of Rajasthan and people are remembering our schemes.
Regarding the Congress rally scheduled to be held in Delhi after the Bihar results, Gehlot said, “Let the rally take place at Ramlila Maidan. Decisions cannot be made without careful consideration. Earlier, Modi used to talk about a Congress-free India, but now instead of talking about a Congress-free India, he has started talking about a Congress-free opposition. This dangerous game is going on within the country. We must understand it. I would like to appeal to the mainstream media to ask their conscience now: what will happen in the country? How will democracy survive? The news that comes from the PMO, whether from the BJP or the ruling party, is given a line. What will be the punchline? Which news will be published? Which news should be highlighted and which should not be highlighted? The PMO makes all the decisions. I have no hesitation in saying this, and all the media know where the news is actually coming from. Please come forward in the interest of the country, otherwise history will not forgive you.” You can also see what former CM Gehlot said in the attached video. End
