New Delhi: While addressing party leaders and workers at the 138th foundation day of the Congress at the AICC headquarters on Wednesday, the party President Mallikarjun Kharge said that the fundamentals of India are being constantly attacked and the society is being "divided by hate".
Further, He said that India progressed due to Congress' approach of inclusion and taking everyone along.
India not only emerged as a successful and strong democracy but within few decades it became a super power in economic, nuclear and strategic areas, Kharge said, adding, it is among the top nations of the world in agriculture, education, medical, IT and services sector.
"This did not happen on its own. This happened due to Congress' faith in democracy and our inclusive ideology of taking everyone along and due to our full faith in the Constitution that gives equal rights and opportunities to all," he told the gathering.
"The fundamentals of India are being constantly attacked. The society is being divided by hate, people are hit by price rise and unemployment but the government is not bothered," he charged.
He attacked the Centre by saying that government is not bothered about the people of the country being hit by price rise and unemployment.
Kharge unfurled the party's flag at the AICC headquarters in the presence of former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and top Congress leaders and workers.
"I am proud to be a part of such an organisation which chose the path of truth, non-violence and struggle in every situation and always took every step in public interest," tweeted Rahul Gandhi on the occassion
