Dramatic scenes, sloganeering as Congress protests before Rahul’s ED appearance

Dramatic scenes unfolded in Delhi on Monday morning as Congress workers raised slogans ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s appearance before the Enforcement Directorate in the National Herald case.

Some Congress workers were detained, news agency ANI reported, near the party headquarters in the city.

Security has been beefed up near the probe agency’s office too. More protests are expected through the day in the national capital and other parts of the country even as the BJP called the demonstrations “a fake satyagrah”.

The Delhi Police – late on Sunday – had denied permission to the party to hold protests in the national capital, citing “communal situation” and VVIP movement.
