As the Congress MPs planned to march to Rashtrapati Bhavan, they were detained at Vijay Chowk. The Congress has been in protest mode ever since Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald money laundering case. Immediately after Gandhi’s remarks, the BJP hit back at the Congress and said that Congress – which has not chosen a non-Gandhi chief for months now – should not be talking about democracy. “There is no inflation for Modiji, he has given away the country’s wealth to 2-4 people….Two-four people have become very rich, but the common person is suffering. However, Gandhi asserted that the party leaders are going to defy the orders. Earlier this week, the ED conducted raids in 12 locations purportedly connected to the National Herald probe, including the Delhi offices of the newspaper. “Today there is no democracy in India, there is [a] dictatorship [led by] four people,” he said. Anybody who stands against this idea of onset of dictatorship is viciously attacked, jailed, arrested and beaten up,” Gandhi said. The MPs were dressed in black as a symbol of their protest. As a result, opposition campaigns and voices on such pertinent issues of people have been rendered ineffective, he said. What India has built brick by brick, starting almost a century ago, is being destroyed in front of your eyes. We are doing that,” the former Congress chief said.
