Addressing party leaders and workers at the Congress headquarters in Delhi on the occasion of party's 138th foundation day, Kharge said the society was being 'divided by hate'.
"The basic principles of India are under constant attack. A pit of hatred is being dug all over the country. People are in trouble due to inflation, unemployment but government does not care," Kharge charged.
