While participating in a satyagraha rally in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president KS Alagiri stated that Rahul Gandhi's disqualification an act of political vendetta by the BJP.

As reported earlier, several opposition MPs took out a march from parliament to Vijay Chowk to protest against the government over the Adani issue and Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Lok Sabha.

Trinamool Congress, which has so far stayed away from opposition protests, joined the sit-in today. However, the TMC MPs may also skip the dinner at Kharge's residence, sources said.

The protesters, including Congress MP Sonia Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, gathered near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the Parliament complex wearing black and raised slogans against the Modi government.

While protesting Indian National Congress President Malliakrjun Kharge said, "Why are we here in black clothes? We want to show that PM Modi is ending democracy in the country. He first finished autonomous bodies, then they put up their own govt everywhere by threatening those who had won polls. Then they used ED, and CBI to use bend those who didn't bow."
