Congress workers protest BJP attack on PM Manmohan Singh

Delhi Police used water cannons to disperse the agitating Congress workers after they stormed the three-tiered barricades. However,the activists refused to budge from the protest site.

Holding flags and banners,the protesters said that the BJP must stop asking for the Prime Minister’s resignation.

On Sunday,hundreds of BJP youth wing activists had clashed with police when they were stopped from marching towards Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s residence to demand his resignation and proper probe into scams against the UPA government.

Led by their leader Anurag Thakur,the Yuva Morcha activists,holding placards and shouting slogans,started their march from Aurangzeb Road. Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel had also joined the protest along with his supporters.

“With this demonstration,we demand that the PM ought to speak up and also demand proper investigation into the scams and cases of corruption against Congress and its Ministers,coming out in the news on a daily basis,” Thakur said.

Goel claimed every day people hears of a new scam.

“The country wants the Prime Minister to come clean on who former Law Minister Ashwani Kumar was trying to save. He needs to resign immediately if he really wants to save whatever credibility he feels is left with him,” the Delhi BJP chief said.
