New Delhi: The Congress leaders and workers continued to hold protests against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) which grilled their leader Rahul Gandhi in connection with the National Herald case for the third day in a row on Wednesday. On the other hand, the Delhi police continued to detain the agitators. They detained Congress leader Sachin Pilot when he was trying to enter the party office. As the police have cordoned off the area, only a few people are allowed inside. After being detained, Pilot was sent to the Narela police station. He said, “It’s a bad sign for democracy as leaders and workers are not allowed to visit their party offices.”
Congress leaders alleged that they were not allowed to go to the party headquarters at 24 Akbar Road and many MPs claimed that they were not even permitted to leave their house. “Today, the Delhi Police forcibly entered the HQ of India’s oldest political party. As they burst the doors open to the AICC HQ, they trampled upon the democracy our forefathers fought and gave their lives for. The BJP has truly killed Indian democracy. It doesn’t get darker than this,” said K C Venugopal, Congress general secretary (organisation).
