Congress leaders detained after protest near agency’s headquarters over director being sent on ‘leave’
Congress president Rahul Gandhi courted arrest on Friday after leading a march to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters to voice protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “forcing” CBI Director Alok Verma to go on ‘indefinite leave’.
Addressing Congress leaders and workers at the protest, Mr. Gandhi accused the Prime Minister of “attacking every institution in the country; be it the CBI, the Election Commission, State Assemblies or the Lok Sabha”.
Mr. Gandhi marched with the protesters for about a kilometre from the road outside Dayal Singh College before being stopped by a police cordon a short distance from the CBI entrance. After sitting on dharna for over an hour, Mr. Gandhi along with other Opposition leaders addressed Congress workers gathered at the place before courting arrest.
