Venugopal arrived in the metropolis in the evening and met the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for more than half an hour, after which both leaders addressed a press conference. We have witnessed how democracy has been sabotaged by PM Modi and Amit Shah.
All the opposition parties have a general consensus to fight together against the dictatorship of PM Modi. The Congress is in full solidarity with the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT). We are all in agreement that we have to fight these forces (BJP) together, he said.
During the previous Parliamentary session, all Opposition parties were meeting for a common strategy under the leadership of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Venugopal said. It was the government side that was disrupting proceedings in Parliament. We only sought a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe on the Adani issue. They (BJP) did not want this, hence, resorted to disturbing proceedings, he said.
Venugopal also stated that the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate were targeting opposition parties, especially the Shiv Sena (UBT). The Congress leader said that there was a feeling among all opposition parties for a broader unity, which is why Kharge and Rahul Gandhi met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav as well as NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.
