The Congress demonstrated from Parliament to the street since morning on Friday against inflation, GST and the policies of the central government. Congress had a different strategy this time. First of all, Sonia along with Congress MPs raised slogans wearing black clothes in Parliament. After that, Rahul went out to march from Parliament to Rashtrapati Bhavan, but was stopped by the police and taken into custody.
After this, Priyanka Gandhi, who was present at the party headquarters, took the lead and she along with her MPs went out to surround the PM residence, but even here the police did not allow her to proceed. As a result, she sat at home on the road itself. The police also took them into custody. During this, all the big leaders of Congress including Ajay Maken, Sachin Pilot, Harish Rawat, Abhinash Pandey were detained.
