This is not a march of any one political party; it is a march of the soul of India,” Gandhi said. “All the people who are fed up with Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Gyanesh Kumar, all the people who want to save democracy, who want to protect the Constitution, you all come.”He urged people not to be deterred by the possibility of police action, saying the march was intended to bring citizens together around the protection of constitutional values.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/cyclone-arnab-triggers-floods-in-odisha-300-villages-marooned-stranded-people-to-be-airlifted-1793272859518">Cyclone Arnab triggers floods in Odisha: 300 villages marooned, stranded people to be airlifted</a>“Don’t worry about the police, don’t worry about lathis.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">नमस्कार,

चलो दिल्ली रामलीला मार्च, लोकतंत्र को बचाने का, वोट चोरी को रोकने का, संविधान को बचाने का मार्च है।

यह किसी एक राजनीतिक पार्टी का मार्च नहीं - यह हिंदुस्तान की आत्मा का मार्च है।

सब लोग जो नरेंद्र मोदी, अमित शाह, ज्ञानेश कुमार से तंग हैं। सब लोग जो लोकतंत्र को बचाना चाहते हैं, संविधान की रक्षा करना चाहते हैं, आप सब आइए।

एक ही protest है - देश का protest है।

Don't worry about the police, don't worry about lathis - the BJP will not have the guts to try any of their antics.

Come march with us - we will walk together to protect the Constitution, to protect the Indian nation.

घबराने की जरूरत नहीं है।

I urge all student groups, regardless of your political affiliation - if you feel that India is under attack, if you feel you are under attack, your expression, your ideas, your way of thinking is under attack, come and join us.

It will be a fantastic march, and it's a march for the soul of this country.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Gandhi also called on student organisations across political affiliations to take part, arguing that concerns over freedom of expression and individual ideas should extend beyond party lines.“I urge all student groups, regardless of your political affiliation, if you feel that India is under attack, if you feel you are under attack, your expression, your ideas, your way of thinking is under attack, come and join us,” he said.The Congress leader described the gathering as a collective effort rather than an event belonging to a single political party.<h2>Mock parliament planned before rally</h2>This follows a meeting of INDIA bloc MPs hosted by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday (Oct 29). Opposition MPs are preparing for a mock parliament on Friday, during which they intend to symbolically ‘impeach’ Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.Watch | Cyclone Arnab unleashes destruction, India's mass evacuation drive prevents a tragedy<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/cyclone-arnab-unleashes-destruction-india-s-mass-evacuation-drive-prevents-a-tragedy-1793208943935/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/cyclone-arnab-unleashes-destruction-india-s-mass-evacuation-drive-prevents-a-tragedy-1793208943935/embed</a>The exercise is expected to precede Saturday’s rally at Ramlila Maidan, where the opposition plans to bring its objections over electoral rolls and alleged irregularities to the forefront.The INDIA bloc’s campaign centres on its allegations of electoral malpractice, which have been contested politically, as opposition parties seek to turn the issue into a wider public mobilisation.
