*”Humaara PM Chor Hain” roars Mumbai as Mumbai Congress demands resignations of PM Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over Rafale Scam*

*Senior Congress leaders meet with Hon. Governor of Maharashtra Shri. Vidyasagar Rao to seek transparency in the Rafale Scam*

*Mumbai:* Mumbai Congress President Sanjay Nirupam today conducted a massive protest as the leader hit the streets of Mumbai demanding resignation from PM Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman after Congress President Rahul Gandhi exposed their involvement in the Rafale scam. As Congress Party’s leader in Lok Sabha and General Secretary In-charge of Maharashtra Mallikarjun Kharge led the protest from Mahalakshmi Race Course to the historic August Kranti Maidan, senior Congress leaders like Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Ashok Chavan, Former Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan, Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Assembly Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, Former State Unit Chief Manikrao Thakre, Former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde were present as well.

Congress Party’s Leader in Lok Sabha and General Secretary In-charge of Maharashtra Mallikarjun Kharge said, “We conducted this massive protest today to create awareness about Rafale Scam and expose the deep rooted corruption which exists in the Modi-led Govt. The support which we have received from the common man today only shows that if we come together, all such scams of the Modi Govt will be exposed. This Govt is anti-people. When women, people from backward classes are subjected to violence, PM Modi keeps quiet conveniently. We demand that CAG should look into this matter and a Joint Parliamentary Committee should be appointed for the same”.

Mumbai Congress President Sanjay Nirupam said, “This scam is worth Rs. 41,205 Crore. The Govt has taken this money which belongs to the farmers, the common man, the poor and the businesmen of this country and given it to Anil Ambani’s Reliance Defence. PM Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman must take responsibility of this massive scam and resign from their respective posts. A Joint Parliamentary Committee has to be appointed or a Supreme Court monitored enquiry has to be set up to investigate the biggest scam of the century”.

Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Ashok Chavan stated that the Congress Party will continue this protest until Justice is served.

The Congress Party’s delegation then met with the hon. Governor of Maharashtra Shri. Vidyasagar Rao urging him to convey their demand to the hon. President of India and have PM Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman demit office to facilitate a free and fair enquiry.
