Karnal, May 18:- A massive protest was organized in Karnal today under the leadership of Parag Gaba, District President of District Congress Committee (Urban) Karnal, against the shattering of youth's dreams due to the NEET exam paper leak, increasing cultivation costs for farmers, inflation, petrol-diesel price hikes, and the economic plight of the common man.
In a highly emotional tone, District President Parag Gaba stated that today the youth of the country are bearing the pain of their broken dreams, farmers are struggling to save their hard work and future, and the common man is fighting every day just to run their kitchen. He remarked that when a mother sees her child's educational dreams shatter, and when a farmer sees his hard-earned money sink under rising costs, it is not merely an economic crisis but an assault on the soul of the nation.
Parag Gaba emphasized that the Congress Party cannot just sit back and watch the tears of the public—Congress is the hope of every student, the voice of every farmer, and the support of every family suffering from injustice, corruption, and inflation. He declared with firm resolve that Congress will fight this battle for the rights of the public, the future of the youth, and the honor of the farmers until its last breath.
This demonstration emerged not just as a protest, but as a collective voice of the youth, farmers, laborers, and the middle class. Congress workers, senior leaders, former MLAs, and a large number of common citizens participated in it.
Former MLA Shamsher Singh Gogi stated that rising diesel-petrol prices, expensive fertilizers-seeds, and the increasing cost of farming have broken the farmer economically. Despite working day and night, the farmer is forced to live a life of losses.
Former MLA Sardar Bakhshish Singh remarked that when the youth are plagued by recruitment scams and paper leaks, and farmers are crushed under economic burdens, it serves as clear evidence of the government's failure.
Present on this occasion were Shamsher Singh Gogi (Former MLA), Sardar Bakhshish Singh (Former MLA), Joginder Valmiki, Binder Poswal, Dilsher Dochar, Tarun Chauhan, Lalit Ahuja, Pankaj Gaba, Sandeep Mahajan, Gurmeet Singh, Praveen Punia, Suresh Chaudhary, Ramesh Jogi, Rohit Joshi, Krishan Kuteil, Kulbeer Maan, Vinod Sharma, Ashok Duggal, Yuvraj Bhatti, Navneet Randhawa, Sher Singh, Bharat Dhillon, Kapil Thakur, Rahul Gupta, Ramphal Malik, Inderjit Goraya, Prithvi Bhatt, Suresh Kachhwa, Nazim Pradhan, Dilip Kumar, Jitendra Panchal, Tinku Paul, Bindal Ji, Gurbaz Singh, Raunak Ram, Pradeep Rana, Ashok Jain, Madhuroy Kalra, Hukam Chand Ji, Balwinder Singh, and Ajay Kunjpura, along with several other senior Congress leaders and workers.
The protestors marched from Sector-12 to the Mini-Secretariat and submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner of Karnal addressed to the Honorable President of India. The memorandum demanded strict action against paper leaks, transparency in competitive exams, a reduction in fuel prices, and relief for farmers and the common public.
Today's mass agitation is a clear message that whenever injustice against the public rises, Congress will be found standing at the absolute forefront of the battlefield of struggle.
