Those that imagine in democracy, secularism should come collectively: Sharad Pawar

Those that imagine in democracy and secularism should come collectively and draw up a “time-bound motion program”, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar mentioned after collaborating in a digital assembly of opposition leaders convened by Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday. He appreciated the initiative to prepare a gathering of like-minded events in view of the current circumstances within the nation, the previous Union minister mentioned on Twitter.

“The present state of affairs in India seems very gloomy. Farmers are protesting for a lot of months, it is an anguishing image for a democratic nation like India. The nation is going through many points like inflation, financial slowdown, Covid mitigation, unemployment, border disputes, situation of the minority communities and many others,” he tweeted.

The current authorities has failed to handle these points, he mentioned.

“Those that imagine in democracy and secularism, those that prefer to work collectively for saving the democratic rules and ethos of our nation should come collectively,” Pawar mentioned.

“A time-bound motion program must be taken up collectively, and I strongly recommend that as an alternative of coping with all these points collectively, we should collectively prioritize every situation and resolve them one after the other to present our nation a superb current and future,” he mentioned.

A complete of 19 events together with the NCP and Shiv Sena participated within the assembly.
