Undeterred by opposition attacks and in-house misgivings on the handling of Baba Ramdev's agitation, Congress is set to launch a strong offensive against protests from political rivals and civil society against the Centre.
The aggression was obvious in the way AICC dropped its defensive play to slam activist-icons Anna Hazare and Ramdev as "mukhotas" of BJP while defending itself on the issue of corruption. A countrywide campaign is also in the works, sources said. The aggressive response has the sanction of the party leadership. Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi is learnt to have discussed the political challenge with finance minister Pranab Mukherji The heir apparent, who is believed to be among those who frowned upon the red carpet welcome at the airport by Cabinet ministers, is learnt to be of strong opinion that the party should not blink in the confrontation with the Opposition.
Congress is working on a detailed campaign to defend Centre's record on combating corruption and to argue that the Opposition charge was politically motivated and sadhus and civil society icons were being used as a front. The allegation which was made on a low key note when Anna Hazare camp pitched tent at Jantar Mantar in April, has turned into a full-blown campaign.
The presence of Sadhvi Rithambara and Uma Bharati, icons of Ayodhya campaign, alongside Ramdev at Ramlila Maidan is cited as substantiation of the "communal conspiracy" charge. On Sunday, parliamentary affairs minister Pavan Bansal had claimed that the midnight raid on Ramdev's camp was meant to preempt a threat of communal flare-up because of the presence of Rithambara at the protest venue abutting the Walled City.
The thread was picked by AICC general secretary BK Hari Prasad and spokesman Manish Tewari. Hari Prasad said Ramdev's protest carried the risk of communal conflagration. Tewari, who spoke to reporters in detail, said the BJP offensive was meant to divert attention from Samjhauta blasts in which new evidence of saffron terror was tumbling out.
Congress is set to launch rallies across states to return the BJP fire. The Opposition is already holding protest fasts to ensure that the Ramdev issue, linked to the claim of the fight to bring back black money, did not move out of focus.
The government, meanwhile, is releasing documents to detail its work on the graft front, starting from checking tax evasion globally to retrieving black money stashed in banks in foreign countries.
