Congress’ Raj Bhavan gherao turns tense with police arrests of leaders
The Hindu
The gherao planned by the Congress party at Raj Bhavan in protest against the three new controversial farm laws made by the Centre last year and also to express their strong Opposition against the statutes turned out to be tense with police obstructing the party leaders’ march at different places and arresting them.
The police also did not allow some Congress leaders such as AICC secretary and former legislator S.A. Sampath Kumar come out of their residences making it ‘house arrest’ literally and arrested those on a march towards the Raj Bhavan stating that the protest planned by them has no permission. Police were deployed in large numbers at Raj Bhavan and at several places leading to it at Panjagutta crossroads, Khairatabad crossroads, Lumbini Park and at Secretariat to prevent the Congress leaders’ march towards Raj Bhavan.
