As Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the National Herald case and Congress workers protested outside the agency, Delhi Police had to use mild force to remove protesting workers.

The Delhi Police did not allow the party workers who were accompanied by senior leaders to move towards the agency and were stopped at least 1 km before the ED office.

To close the road completely that led to ED office, the police had placed several barricades. Later, the Congress workers sat in front of the barricades and raised slogans in favour of their leader and against the present dispensation at the Centre.

However, the police could be seen picking up the Congress workers who were sitting in front of the barricades and bundled them in their vehicle.

As a part of precaution, several Congress workers were detained.

Talking about the same, Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak who was also there at the site, expressed strong resentment against the government.

“This is completely unconstitutional. The Congress workers cannot even gather outside their own office. You are detaining people for a peaceful march. You have turned the whole area into a fortress,” she said.

The spokesperson alleged that this tactic is just to muzzle the voice of Rahul Gandhi, who is the sole critic of the Central government for all its failure.
