Centre Under Fire at Tiranga Rally

At the 'Tiranga Vijay Rally' held at Mumbai's Shivaji Park, Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief Uddhav Thackeray launched a strong attack on the central government. Addressing a large gathering of supporters, he declared the rally a symbol of "patriots' victory against blind devotees."

He lauded the active role of the youth, stating that the nation's young generation has proven that "votes can be stolen, but people's trust and their morale cannot be snatched away." Expressing concern over the current scenario, Uddhav Thackeray emphasized the need for public unity to protect democratic institutions and constitutional values. He framed this struggle as a movement to save democracy and the constitution, transcending individual elections or political parties.

Sharp Questions for the Central Government

Directly targeting the central government, Uddhav Thackeray accused the ruling party of attempting to suppress the public's voice. Referring to police actions, he remarked, "We have the Tricolour in our hands, and they have batons. This clearly shows who stands for patriotism and who is afraid."

His statement was met with loud slogans from supporters at the rally, who were expressing their anger against the government's policies. The rally grounds were adorned with the Tricolour and party flags, with thousands of supporters chanting patriotic slogans and reaffirming their commitment to protecting democracy.

Youth as the Strength of the Movement

Addressing the youth, Uddhav Thackeray identified them as the greatest strength of this movement. He noted that the country's youth are openly coming forward against injustice and dictatorship, which he described as the true power of democracy.

He asserted that this movement would no longer be confined to one state but would spread across the country to safeguard democratic rights. Various leaders on the stage also criticized the central government's policies and stressed the need for opposition unity. Towards the end of his speech, Uddhav Thackeray stated that public mandate is supreme, and nothing in a democracy is greater than the will of the people.

He appealed to supporters to continue their struggle peacefully and democratically, vowing that the movement would persist until democratic values are fully protected.
