Days after Lok Shabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan suspended six Congress lawmakers from the assembly, Indian Youth Congress, to register it’s protest tried to March towards her residence today. However, the protest March was foiled with a heavy deployment of police and CRPF.

Hundreds of Indian Youth Congress workers and supporters assembled outside All India Congress Committee office at 24, Akbar road.

Addressing the protestors, Indian Youth Congress president, Amrinder Singh Brar said, “We have gathered here today because the democracy in our country, for which we have given so many lives, is under threat from the BJP.”

He alleged that Sumitra Mahajan, has been acting, not like a Lok Sabha Speaker, but, speaker for the BJP.

While talking to media persons, Brar said, “The BJP is refusing to discuss the important issues of public concern in the Parliament, rather they are trying to fool people by taking about irrelevant things.”

Police had erected barricades on the the road to thwart the movement of procession.
