MUMBAI: Law enforcement agencies on Friday thwarted agitating Congress activists’ attempt to march to Raj Bhavan to protest against the deployment of the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI for cases involving politicians in the state, the treatment meted out to leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, and the imposition of GST on essential commodities.
Senior Congress politicians, including Congress state unit president Nana Patole, former ministers Balasaheb Thorat, Naseem Khan, Varsha Gaikwad, Ashok Chavan and Prithviraj Chavan, Congress city unit president Bhai Jagtap, and working president Charan Singh Sapra, assembled near the council hall to take out a procession to Raj Bhavan. The police detained them before they could start.
