In Delhi, several Indian National Congress (INC) leaders including Members of Parliament (MPs) including Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Ms. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Ms. Sonia Gandhi and Mr. Shashi Tharoor detained by the Delhi Police. The police arrested the leaders after they staged a protest against the increasing price rise in India by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central Government.
The INC and opposition leaders wore black clothes and staged a protest in the Parliament House complex on Friday as they marched towards the Rashtrapati Bhawan as part of their nationwide stir. The protesting MPs of the opposition party raised slogans against the BJP Government demanding that the GST hike on essential items be withdrawn,
They were, however, stopped by the Delhi Police and not allowed to proceed towards the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The INC leader Mr. Jairam Ramesh said, “Again today, Congress MPs denied democratic right to protest against price rise, unemployment and GST. Bundled into police vans at Vijay Chowk. It’s clear, only those who are afraid try to instil fear!”
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police has denied permission to the opposition party to stage a protest in the national capital as prohibitory orders are in place in the New Delhi district. The police also imposed section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in Delhi.
Meanwhile, besides Delhi, the Indian National Congress (INC) led Rajasthan also staged a protest. In addition, Congress unit in other states including Telangana also called for a protest against the GST and domestic items price hike.
