Police break up Cong march to LG house

Friday, 17 June 2022 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

Mayhem broke out during a protest march by Delhi Congress workers and leaders to the Lieutenant-Governor’s residence on Thursday, with police using water cannons twice to disperse the gathering. The protest march, that was led by Delhi Congress president Anil Kumar, was stopped by the police, minutes after it started from Sushrut Trauma Centre near Chandgiram Akhara to the L-G's house. The protest had been called against “police high-handedness” at the All India Congress Committee headquarters on Wednesday. This was part of a national call by the party to gherao Raj Bhavans across the country over Wednesday’s events.

The Delhi Congress has claimed that its president Anil Chaudhury sustained injuries.

A Delhi Congress delegation also submitted a memorandum to the LG seeking action against Delhi Police for allegedly entering the party headquarters and “thrashing” party workers and leaders.

On Wednesday, the Congress had alleged that the Delhi Police forcibly entered their national headquarters in New Delhi and “thrashed” their workers and leaders.
