The State Congress on Thursday took out a protest march from its office on Queen’s Road to Raj Bhavan against the Central government’s “vendetta politics, misuse of power and abuse of investigating agencies” and the ED’s questioning of MP Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi in the National Herald case.
“The government can put us in jail and file cases. We won’t be intimidated,” KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar said. “The use of ED and police is an attempt to crush the morale of our party workers. The people will teach a lesson to the BJP.”
Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah slammed the BJP for targeting the Congress leaders. “Keeping someone at a police station for 8-10 hours amounts to illegal confinement,” he said.
