Priyanka Gandhi and other Congress leaders were taken into custody by the Delhi Police on Friday as they were on their way to meet President Ram Nath Kovind with 20 million signatures against farm laws.
Deepak Yadav, additional DCP (New Delhi), said that some Congress leaders marching towards Rashtrapati Bhavan were detained and confirmed that Priyanka Gandhi was among them. It will take some time, however, to determine the identities of the other leaders detained, he said.
Only three leaders, Rahul Gandhi, Ghulam Nabi Azad and Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary, were allowed to hold the march, according to a letter written by Congress MP KC Venugopal to the President’s personal secretary.
The march was to be conducted from Vijay Chowk to Rashtrapati Bhavan, led by Rahul Gandhi.
