New Delhi, December 19: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has criticised the government for stopping people from joining the protests against the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA).
Priyanka Gandhi wrote on twitter: "Metro Station is closed. The Internet is closed. Section 144 is imposed everywhere. There is no place to raise your voice. Those people who have today spent taxpayers' crores of rupees for advertisements to make people understand, the same people are suppressing peoples' voice." Internet Blocked in Parts of Delhi? Mobile Users Complain About Network Blockage, Airtel Confirms Suspension on Govt Orders Amid CAA Protests.
In a following tweet she said: "But, they should know this, the more the voice is suppressed, the louder it will be."
The voice of a people cannot be silenced by force. Every time force is applied to dominate and rule, every time you beat and suppress, every time you push people to the wall, they will rise up stronger, their resolve will strengthen and their voice will grow louder.. 1/2
