Rahul Gandhi was disqualified to suppress voice of opposition, says Hooda

Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Friday claimed Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from Lok Sabha to suppress the voice of opposition, but asserted the voice of truth cannot be suppressed.

Addressing a 'Samvidhan Bachao Rally' here, Hooda said some forces want to weaken the Constitution but the Congress will not allow them to succeed nor will it allow the voice of Gandhi to be suppressed.

"The Constitution is not only a legal document, it is also a social and economic document. A strong India needs a strong Constitution. On the birth anniversary of Babasaheb B R Ambedkar, let us take a pledge that we will not allow anyone to weaken the rights given to us by the Constitution," said Hooda.

Recalling the legacy of the Congress, the former Haryana chief minister said, "Our elders made sacrifices for the country's freedom".

He claimed Gandhi was disqualified from Lok Sabha to suppress the voice of the opposition.

He, however, added that the voice of truth cannot be suppressed.
