Rahul Gandhi surrounded the government
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has surrounded the BJP government on this matter. He accused of killing democracy and the Constitution. He said on ‘X’, democracy and constitution have been murdered again in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh.
Rahul Gandhi said, Congress party is doing Satyagraha in support of Baba Saheb and the Constitution across the country. During this, due to the excesses of the police force, our Congress worker Prabhat Pandey died, which is very sad and condemnable.
Demonstration of Congress workers
Congress workers were protesting against the state government on issues like farmers’ problems, unemployment, inflation, privatization and law and order. Barricades were erected around the assembly premises to prevent Congress workers from reaching the protest site, while traffic was badly affected in the heart of the city due to the diversion of the route.
The police did not allow party workers to proceed beyond the party’s Mall Avenue office, citing restrictions under Section 163 (power to issue orders in urgent cases of nuisance or apprehended danger) of the Indian Civil Security Code (BNSS) in Lucknow.
