Rahul not to celebrate birthday due to soldiers' martyrdom, Covid


New Delhi, Jun 19 (IANS): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will not be celebrating his birthday on Friday on account of martyrdom of soldiers in Ladakh and suffering due to Covid, the party said.

Congress General Secretary, Organisation, K.C. Venugopal has asked party members to refrain from celebrations and instead help the poor and those who are suffering. Any form of celebration has been prohibited by the party.

The Congress has asked all its units to observe 2 minutes silence in memory of the valiant soldiers.

Meanwhile, the Youth Congress will be distributing Corona NYAY Kits among the neediest people on June 19 in line with the "vision of Rahul Gandhi to help the impoverished in these tough times and to pay tribute to our brave soldiers", its spokesperson Amrish Ranjan Pandey said in a statement.

The Youth Congress' Maharashtra unit has also announced a 'Service Week' from Friday to mark Gandhi's 50th birthday.

The 'Seva Saptah' will see office-bearers and workers carrying out various welfare activities to ease the lives of the poor and migrants hit by the coronavirus pandemic, said Youth Congress' Maharashtra President Satyajeet Tambe.

    Let him celebrate or not but he should definitely not meet the Chinese when the skirmishes are on like he did when Dokalam fight happened. it makes us to fear whether he has any understanding with China.

    I request Congress leader Rahul Gandhi birthday is meeting the families of the martyr soldiers and offering condolences by giving some financial assistance.

    It is well know fact the 'PM Care fund' is not for the poor of this nation it is to be used for Rajya Sabha elections, to save Manipur government, Bihar and West Bengal elections.

    Sir, Denial of CAG auditing and divulging RTI questions are the proof that these funds BJP's own version of 2G scam. These funds are the similar successful experiment like Gujarat earthquake relief fund that embezzle and diverted to state election campaign.
    To make you simple to understand will you accept 'Pay cheque' with deduction from the company you work without any pay statement?

    Look at the world NOT from your position , but look at the world from YOUR position. RaGA is only a MP from Wayanad. What purpose does it serve if a Kerala MP does not celebrate his Bday? There are so many MPs in Kerala whose Bday is not published or celebrated.

    Yeah right! He helps the ruling. We have seen it since 2014 how he has helped BJP to sweep polls. At the end of the day , he has to contest in Wayanad to win on ''you know whose' votes . for survival in Indian politics. Look at the world NOT from your position , but look at the world from YOUR position.

    Mr. Krishna..

    If the flight to Bangkok is not opened, then I suggest you wait till it opens and then book a flight for you and your family for a long holiday. Also contact your travel agency to get the information.

    Just one more thing..

    While on the topic of foreign tours, it is because of Rahul's abroad trip during Feb earlier this year, that he came to know about the impending pandemic. And on his return warned the nation about it, through his twitter handle. But PM made a mockery of RG's twitter message.

    Traveling abroad also has its advantages some times.. One should acknowledge this.

    Okay. Got it?

    If the flight is not opened, DONT' CRY LIKE A BABY. Instead, you wait till it opens and then book a flight for you and your family for a long holiday. Also contact your travel agency to get the information.

    While on the topic of foreign tours, it is because of Rahul's abroad trip during Feb earlier this year, that he came to know about the impending pandemic. And on his return warned the nation about it, through his twitter handle. But PM made a mockery of RG's twitter message.

    Excerpts from India Today News dated 14th April 2020:
    .... For two weeks, till February 28, Rahul was in Italy, interacting with scientists, administrators and doctors to assess the impact of the virus and the possible ways to combat it.

    It was only on February 29 that Rahul returned to India, and three days later, on March 3, tweeted a veiled warning to Modi on the approaching pandemic: "There are moments in the life of every nation when its leaders are tested. A true leader would be completely focused on averting the massive crisis about to be unleashed by the virus on India and its economy."...
