But there are questions. Is Rahul summoned by ED in condition of money laundering And the alleged witch hunt that Congress sees in urgent work national issue at a time when party should be berserk on Issues affecting common people? Does this raise allegations? of Political revenge finds an echo with The people? after every thing , party Often accused BJP of using Societal issues to distract attention from them price rise, unemployment and border tension economy. Then there is the political minefield of Bulldozer politics.

But then there is a counter question. Crescent party You have a choice? If not standing up When government go after family And its leader, when will you wake up? up? And what message will silence send? out for the staff?

after every thing , party He was accusing the BJP government of Targeting opposition leaders and misusing investigative and indulgence agencies in political revenge.

Moreover, it is easier to crowd party behind The family Get leaders and staff on to the streets from on Issues likeSay, price rise. In the pastagitation on Bread and Butter Issues announced by party is over up It’s just a ritual.

“BJP Heaven’s Move and earth to stop arrest of small-Staff time like Tajinder Singh Baja. we should Learn from them. After all, this is about Rahul and a paper founded by Jawaharlal Nehru. Why should We do not protest or arouse? ” says a senior Congress leader.

Another leader said, “If we don’t protest today, then government You will be encouraged. Tomorrow, maybe arrest Rahul. a signal He has to go out We won’t take it false down” one said the leader.

But not everyone in The party Approves. On Monday, when the High Command came out To protest, leaders of G23 were missing. many of They did not believe the idea of a public Scene on a issue This is basically personal in nature.

Signal of Veterans like Malikarjun Kharge, P Chidambaram, Digvijaya Singh and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury out on Streets, wrestling with Police, no doubt indicting the cadre. But the protest was essentially orchestrated.

A video tweeted by Amit Malviya of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) drew ridicule from the leadership. He. She shows The veteran Digvijaya Singh walks into the 24, AICC headquarters on Akbar Road and asks someone – “Bhai, Hazri Kahan Laghana Hai… Hazri Andar Hai… (Where is one Record attendance? inside?).”

Then there is an inner dimension – of Veterans do not stand with Rahul in The past. Says, on The issue of Rafal or hymn “chowkidar chor hai”. But that was about tactics. This is about staying. and the leaders know Well.

It may not be exactly a file redux of Indira Gandhi appears before the Shah’s commission after the emergency. or for This concerns her arrest in 1977 on corruption charges. You played the victim card To the maximum degree after that, Janata push government on to me defensive And revive the electoral fortunes of Congress.

But that was a different era. The situation is not even remotely similar. But, like many in The party Think, what’s the harm in trying. After all, does Congress have a choice?
