Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were released after being detained during the protests. Both the leaders were dropped by Delhi Police at Chhatrasal Stadium from where they left. Let us tell you that former Congress President Sonia Gandhi had reached Mandir Marg police station in New Delhi. It was here that the police had kept Priyanka Gandhi in custody. Priyanka Gandhi said that in democracy we have the right to protest. There was a lot of excitement and anger among Congress workers regarding this development. It is noteworthy that the police has also released other leaders including Congress.
Political conflict intensifies from street to parliament
Congress targeted the government over the detention of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi and accused it of violating democratic rights. Party leaders say that raising issues to the public is the constitutional and democratic right of the opposition and instead of suppressing peaceful protests, the government should answer questions of public interest.
At the same time, this entire incident has once again brought to the fore the increasing political conflict between the ruling party and the opposition. Congress leaders and workers have indicated to raise their voice more strongly against the government.
Protest will continue even after release
It is clear from the stand of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi after their release that Congress is in no mood to back down on its issues. The party is likely to continue protests and political campaigns in the future.
