Earlier, the party had planned a march from Shahid Smarak to the Commissioner’s Office, but it was postponed after authorities denied permission. Instead, the Congress workers staged a sit-in at Shahid Smarak.

The protest followed comments made by several BJP leaders including Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, who allegedly referred to Rahul Gandhi as “terrorist number one,” which sparked anger among the Congress leaders and workers, leading to the protest.
