Congress says it will hold Cuncolim rally in Goa despite ban

The Indian National Congress has publicly declared its intention to go ahead with a rally in Cuncolim, a town in Goa, despite a ban imposed by local authorities. The party’s statement emphasized its resolve to exercise democratic rights and mobilise supporters in the region.

Officials had placed a prohibition on public gatherings in the area, citing security concerns, though the exact reasons were not detailed in the available report. Congress leaders dismissed the ban as an impediment to free political expression.

By choosing to defy the restriction, the party signals a willingness to challenge administrative orders it deems unjust. The move is expected to draw attention from both supporters and critics ahead of the scheduled event.
