Congress to hold mass protests over fuel price hike, Chinese incursion into India territory

The Congress will hold mass protests across the country next Monday over the “unprecedented” rise in petrol and diesel prices.

All India Congress Committee General Secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal said the party will also hold a mass protest on Friday over China’s incursion into Indian territory by paying homage to the Army personnel killed in a violent faceoff with Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh’s Galwan Valley.

“The Congress party will pay homage to the martyrs of Ladakh by observing June 26 as ‘Shaheedon Ko Salaam Divas’ across India. They will sit at ‘Shaheed Smaraks’ or the statues of Mahatma Gandhi or freedom fighters in their respective locations,” he said in a statement.
