Further, Congress MP Jebi Mather said the INDIA bloc’s march was aimed at protecting democracy, asserting that the participants would march as citizens rather than as members of any political party, state, caste or religion.
Mather said the march reflected a collective commitment to stand for what is right and resist pressure.
“We, unwavering in our demand, and committed to the core, and determined to stand for what is right. That is exactly why Rahul Gandhi ji said that this is not-this march, we will march to the Supreme Court not as a political party, not as individuals, not as men and women, not as-not belonging to any state, or caste, or religion, or creed. We will march as citizens who believe that democracy needs to be protected in the country. We will walk-we will walk as citizens who will fight, who refuse to surrender to any kind of pressure. We are determined to stand for what is right,” Mather told ANI.
