Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Kumar Lallu was arrested here today while staging a protest against the state government over an incident of a 16-year-old Dalit girl being beaten up in the district. कांग्रेस के लोग लाठियों और गिरफ्तारियों से नहीं डरने वाले।आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार करो और अमेठी की दलित बेटी को न्याय दो।न्याय न मिलने तक लड़ाई लड़ते रहेंगे। @myogiadityanath को जवाब देना होगा। pic.twitter.com/U6PA5Raq2M
Led by Mr Lallu, Congress workers in large numbers started the protest demonstration from the Ramlila Maidan, which ended at the Rajiv Gandhi tri-section, where the protesters sat on a dharna. They also raised slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Police subsequently arrested Mr Lallu.
Amethi Superintendent of Police (SP) Dinesh Singh said the state Congress chief was arrested for staging a protest without permission and squatting on the road.
