NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Sunday announced the launch of a ‘White T-shirt Movement,’ championing the rights of the masses, even as he accused the Narendra Modi government of turning its back on the poor. Gandhi announced the launch in a post on X and urged people to be a part of it.
“If you believe in economic justice, oppose rising wealth inequalities, fight for social equality, reject all forms of discrimination and strive for peace and stability in our country, wear your white T-shirts and join the movement,” said a video voiceover posted by Gandhi on X.
Gandhi said, “Today, the Modi government has turned its back on the poor and the working class and has left them to their own devices. The government’s entire focus is on enriching a select few capitalists. It is the responsibility of all of us to raise our voice strongly to get them justice and rights. With this thought, we are starting the #WhiteTshirtMovement,” he said.
