The Assam BJP will organize “Mahila Akrosh” protests across the state on April 23 against the Congress party’s “anti-women stance”.
The saffron party will be protesting against the non-passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill after Opposition parties led by the Congress voted against it in the Lok Sabha on April 17.
Party workers at all levels, district, mandal, and booth, have already mobilized themselves to ensure the resounding success of this agitation, a statement issued by the BJP stated.
To effectively implement the protest programme, the State BJP has entrusted special responsibilities to 26 leaders, including Member of Parliament from Guwahati Bijuli Kalita Medhi, BTC Executive Member Rekharani Das Boro, former MP Queen Oja, and party General Secretary Anup Barman. The State President, and MP from Darrang-Udalguri constituency, Dilip Saikia, has personally overseen the preparations by convening a crucial meeting with office-bearers of the Guwahati Metropolitan District at the party headquarters. He has called upon all women to unite against the anti-women decisions of the Congress and has directed party workers to mount a strong and decisive resistance. “The BJP will continue to work relentlessly for the upliftment of women and the protection of their rights. The anti-women policies and posture of the Congress, he emphasized, will be remembered by the women of this nation for generations to come,” the statement said.
