Rahul Gandhi detained by Delhi police during Congress protest against ED

Delhi (The Stellar News): On Tuesday Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and several party MPs were detained by police at Vijay Chowk, after they staged a protest against Enforcement Directorate questioning of Sonia Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi and the other members of the party gathered at Vijay Chowk to march towards the Rashtrapati Bhawan to draw President’s attention to the alleged misuse of agencies by the government. Gandhi was put in police bus but officials did not close where he was being taken to. Several other Congress MPs at the protest site were also taken away in different police buses. “India is a police state, Modi is a king”, Rahul Gandhi said. He further added that discussions were not being allowed in Parliament.
“I am not going anywhere. We wanted to go towards the President’s house but the police are not allowing us”, he said. The Congress MPs had earlier gathered at Parliament to decide on the party’s strategy as Sonia Gandhi appeared before ED for questioning in a money laundering case pertaining to the National Herald newspaper, for the second time. Rahul Gandhi has earlier appeared before the probe agency for questioning in the same case.
