Congress workers took out a massive rally to the Enforcement Directorate office in the city and later held a dharna, led by TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy and attended by senior leaders Bhatti Vikramarka, T. Jeevan Reddy, and Madhu Yaskhi Goud among others, alleging deliberate harassment of Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the closed National Herald case.
The protests also turned a bit violent as Youth Congress activists set a scooter on fire raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing him of targeting Ms. Gandhi for raising her voice against the :anti-people policies” of the government.
The rally was taken from the Indira Gandhi statue on Necklace Road to the ED regional office. The massive gathering of Congress workers wearing black clothes and carrying black balloons led to traffic disruption on several roads around the Hussainsagar and Basheerbagh where the ED office is located.
