ITANAGAR, Feb 12: The All India Congress Committee (AICC) today launched the ‘Join Congress Social Media (JCSM)’ campaign in the state during a Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) extended executive meeting held here at the party office on Friday.
Addressing the media persons, AICC In-charge for Arunachal Pradesh, Manish Chatrath said the campaign is a call to save the country from oppressive rule of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government. He said the campaign will provide a platform to the people to raise voice against the oppressive government as well to retain democracy in the country. “The COVID-19 crisis has made it clear that under the Modi government apathy runs high and India has suffered gravely because of it. It is time to fight the BJP by becoming a Congress Social Media Warrior,” he said. Through the social media campaign, the party aims to recruit five lakh volunteers and create five thousand offices which will fight against fake propaganda and fake news, Chatrath informed. “The selected volunteers will go through scrutiny and training on various social media platforms before being appointed,” he said, adding that it is a movement to overcome the oppression of fake news and propaganda.
Meanwhile, AICC National Convener for the social media department Pranab Vacharjani alleged that the present government has been actively working to suppress the voice of the people, be it social media or on the ground. “BJP government has repeatedly crushed the voice of the people, be it the farmers' protest, Chinese incursion in Arunachal, demand for women’s safety etc. It has never heard the concern of the people,” he said, while condemning the ruling BJP government for leaving no stone unturned in demolishing the country for the last 7 years. Democracy is constantly under attack, the economy is in tatters and the borders of our country are not safe, Vacharjani added. “The social and cultural unity of the country is constantly being damaged, while the government protects itself with the help of repression,” he said, adding that the campaign will bring out the lies and hateful propaganda in the public domain.  
The meeting was also attended by APCC President Nabam Tuki, CLP leader Lombo Tayeng and other senior leaders and workers of the party.
