Hyderabad(31March): Hyderabad DCC President Sameer Waliullah on Friday urged unity against the Modi Government’s alleged suppression of dissent and corruption. He stated that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha for attempting to expose the suspect relationship between Adani and PM Modi.
As part of the AICC’s nationwide initiative to hold press conference in each district headquarters, Sameer Waliullah, accompanied by other leaders, held a press conference at the historic Charminar. Present were Charminar Incharge Advocate Mujeeb Ullah Shareef, Bahadurpura candidate Kaleem Baba, TPCC General Secretary C Srinivas, Hyderabad Mahila Congress President Tahseen Fatima, Mirza Askari Baig, Shabaz Khan, Ali, Chandu, Ahmed, Aslam Shareef, Asad, Amir, KS Anand Rao, Kausar Fatima, and other senior leaders.
Sameer Waliullah condemned the Modi Government for allegedly attempting to silence dissent through the manipulation of government agencies such as the ED, CBI, and UAPA. He provided examples of opposition leaders, activists, and journalists being targeted with fabricated cases and intimidation tactics, arguing that this was part of a broader strategy to safeguard the government’s interests and conceal its misdeeds.
Sameer Waliullah defended Rahul Gandhi’s advocacy for farmers and marginalized communities, dismissing accusations of casteism as baseless. He referenced Gandhi’s efforts to safeguard farmers’ rights through the 2013 Land Acquisition Act and his opposition to the Modi government’s amendments to the same legislation. Additionally, he emphasized Gandhi’s support for tribal rights in Niyamgiri, Odisha. He deemed BJP’s allegations connecting Rahul Gandhi’s comments to OBC as absurd. He contended that the BJP was attempting to legitimize corruption by portraying Lalit Modi and Nirav Modi as “poor BCs,” despite their non-OBC status.
