Rahul Gandhi Arrested by Police for Protesting Against Modi Govt
Congress president Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders were detained today by the Delhi Police while they were protesting against Modi government’s alleged interference in the affairs of CBI.
Today, a large number of Congress workers had planned to hold a demonstration in front of the CBI office in Delhi. Rahul Gandhi had said Wednesday that CBI Director Alok Verma was collecting papers related to Modi’s Rafale corruption and he was forced to go on leave. “The country and the Constitution are under attack,” he had said in his tweet in Hindi.
