Congress Nationwide Protests Latest Updates: Several Congress MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Shashi Tharoor were detained on Friday amid the party’s nationwide protest against the Centre on issues of inflation, unemployment and GST on food items. Security has been tightened in several places and Section 144 has been clamped down across the New Delhi area, except Jantar Mantar. Protests are underway in many state capitals and cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bhopal, Patna, Guwahati Chandigarh and Jammu. Earlier this morning, while addressing a press conference, Rahul Gandhi said India was no longer a democracy, but a dictatorship. “India is witnessing the death of democracy,” he said in a press conference. “What India has built brick by brick, starting almost a century ago, is being destroyed in front of your eyes. Anybody who stands against this idea of onset of dictatorship is viciously attacked, jailed, arrested and beaten up.”
