New Delhi: To counter
the ruling Congress's mega rally here, the Bharatiya Janata
Party's (BJP) Delhi unit Sunday observed a 'Black Day' with a
series of protest rallies in the national capital to oppose the
government's economic policies, especially the move to allow FDI
in multi-brand retail.
"We are holding separate demonstrations on the issue by talking to
the aam admi about the effects of FDI. The Congress is just
misguiding the public; but the public has never supported and will
not support foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail,"
Delhi BJP chief Vijendra Gupta told IANS.
The BJP party supporters marched across the city carrying black
flags while senior leaders of Delhi BJP unit Vijay Kumar Malhotra,
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Vani Tripathi and Aarti Mehra led protests in
areas like Kingsway Camp, Madhuban Chowk, Vikas Marg, Tilak Nagar
Market, Kamla Nagar Main Market and New Ashok Nagar.
"Several traders' organisations are supporting our protest against
FDI. Our dharna at 14 spots in Delhi started at 10 a.m. today
(Sunday) and will end at 8 p.m. We will continue to voice protests
against inclusion of FDI in multi-brand retail, corruption and
inflation," Gupta added.
The BJP protests came on a day when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and party general secretary Rahul
Gandhi addressed a massive Congress rally at Ramlila Maidan in the
heart of the capital, where thousands of supporters gathered.
