Stepping up its attack on the Narendra Modi government over the rising prices of vegetables, the Congress on July 4 described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the ‘Mehengaai Man‘ under whose watch essential food items have become unaffordable.
The All India Mahila Congress, led by its chief Netta D’Souza, organised a flash protest outside the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) headquarters to demand relief for people from the rising inflation in prices of essential food items. Women leaders also accused the Delhi Police of manhandling and violating laid down protocols while trying to remove them from the protest site.
“Delhi Police under Home Minister Amit Shah does not miss any opportunity to break rules, conventions and procedures laid out in the Police manual to intimidate and harass protesters raising their voice against the Modi government. They have broken all protocols by sending male officers to manhandle Mahila Congress workers protesting intolerable rise in prices of essential commodities,” Congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted.
