Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Sake Sailajanath, party’s other senior leaders and activists were arrested on Thursday while they were protesting against Rahul Gandhi’s questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald case.
Responding to a call given by the party’s central leadership, the APCC gave a “chalo Raj Bhavan” call, and even as the party leaders started their protest march, they were detained by the police who said the party did not have the permission for the proposed protest.
After the protest, Mr. Sailajanath was to address the press at hotel Southern Grand in Gandhinagar, where police personnel were deployed to avoid any possible trouble.
