Rahul Gandhi Detained In Madhya Pradesh By PoliceĀ
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi was detained by police when he tried to enter Madhya Pradesh with surging crowds of Congress supporters shouting slogans praising farmers.
Hundreds of Congress workers as well as senior leaders like Rajasthan Congress Chief Sachin Pilot and Madhya Pradesh legislator Jaiwardhan Singh also courted arrest. They were being taken to a guesthouse of a cement company, a police official said.
Gandhi, also accompanied by senior party leaders Digvijay Singh and Kamal Nath, defied elaborate police arrangements to prevent him from entering the state. Slogans of "jai jawaan jai kisaan" and "Rahul Gandhi zindabad" could be heard as the procession made its way towards Mandsaur, the ground zero of the farmer unrest where five people were killed on Tuesday, from Naya Gaon in Neemuch.
