Watch | Karnataka Congress Leaders Stage Protest Against ED Questioning Rahul Gandhi, Detained
Karnataka Congress hit the streets and ahead of the protests commuters had a harrowing time as traffic snarls were seen in Bengaluru
New Delhi: With Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioning Rahul Gandhi in National Herald Case, in which the Congress leader has been asked to appear for the fourth time on Friday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President DK Shivakumar on Thursday alleged that the ED has been harassing Congress leaders and not taking up cases of BJP leaders.
Despite the High Court orders that protests should be carried out only at Freedom Park in Bengaluru, Karnataka Congress hit the streets and ahead of the protests commuters had a harrowing time as traffic snarls were seen in Bengaluru.
The party leaders on Thursday organised a march from party office to Raj Bhavan to give a memorandum and a complaint against BJP, according to an update by news agency ANI.
Ahead of the protest staged by Congress, the party leaders have given the Bengaluru police in writing which was rejected. "We conveyed it to them in the morning too. If they proceed, we'll take them into preventive custody," DCP East, Bheemashankar, said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Bengaluru police have detained Congress leaders DK Shivakumar, Siddaramaiah and other party workers for taking out a rally against HC's order.
