Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra along with opposition MPs from Kerala, led a demonstration at Parliament’s Makar Dwar today, calling for financial assistance for the Wayanad residents impacted by the landslide.
As they raised shouts like “stop discrimination against Kerala,” the opposition MPs held banners that said, “Justice for Wayanad, Provide relief package for Wayanad” and “Wayanad ko nyay do, vedbhaw na karein.” Congress General Secretary and party MP KC Venugopal, and CPI (M) MP John Brittas among others joined the protest.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “We are very disturbed by the fact that the government is refusing to give a special package to Wayanad. We have gone to the home minister, we have written to the prime minister and to everyone possible, to declare that this is a calamity of a severe nature and to give a special package.”
