    Gurugram: Many Youth Congress workers on Saturday blocked the Delhi-Jaipur Highway here and burnt tyres in protest against the disqualification of party leader Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha.

    The party workers led by Haryana Youth Congress chief Divyanshu Budhiraja reached near Kherki Daula toll plaza at around 12:30 pm and raised slogans against the BJP government.

    “The Centre has cancelled the membership of Rahul Gandhi to suppress the voice of the Opposition. We will protest on the streets against the dictatorial decision of the BJP government which is scared of the support received by Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’,” Budhiraja said.

    The Gurugram police reached the protest site and detained one of the protesters.

    “Vikas Parmar alias Lala, a resident of Rohtak, was detained. He was released later,” a police officer said.

    Following the complaint of ASI Yogender Kumar, an FIR was registered against about 20 protesters under sections 147 (riots), 283 (obstruction in public way), 341 (wrongful confinement) of the IPC at the Kherki Daula police station, he said.

    “A case was registered on Saturday against those who blocked the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. One of them was arrested while action will be taken against others,” Inspector Rajender Kumar, SHO, Kherki Daula police station said.

    Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after a court in Gujarat’s Surat convicted him in a 2019 defamation case. The disqualification will bar Gandhi (52), a four-time MP, from contesting polls for eight years unless a higher court stays his conviction.

    Meanwhile, former BJP MP Sudha Yadav accused the Gandhi scion of making unwarranted comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during several occasions on both national and international platforms.

    “The conduct of Rahul Ganbdhi in this case simply shows his arrogance. He has made unwarranted remarks against the prime minister in national and global fora,” she said at a press conference here.

    Countering the charges, Congress leader Captain Ajay Yadav claimed it was the
    pre-plan of the saffron party and that the Union dispensation “cannot face the truth” as shown by Gandhi.

    Gurugram: Police have booked around 150 people for blocking the Delhi-Jaipur highway on Tuesday while opposing the arrest of Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar in the abduction-murder of two men from Rajasthan.

    The incident had occurred during the mahapanchayat organised by Hindu groups in support of Monu, who runs a cow protection group and is among the nine people booked in the case by Rajasthan police.

    The FIR was registered on Tuesday night under sections 147 (riots), 149 (unlawful assembly) and 283 (obstruction in public way) of the IPC and Section 8 B of the National Highway Act 1956 at Manesar police station, the police said on Wednesday.

    The protest was held following claims that the Rajasthan police team was conducting a raid at Monu’s residence in Manesar village.

    According to a complaint filed by sub-inspector Deepak, posted at Manesar police station, about 150 persons had blocked the Delhi-Jaipur highway on Tuesday due to which a large number of vehicles were stranded on both sides and commuters had to face a lot of problems.

    The complainant has named four of the accused in his complaint. They were identified as Arun Yadav, Umed Yadav, Monu Yadav and Kailash Yadav.

    A senior police officer said that action will be taken as per the law.

    Nasir and Junaid, both residents of Ghatmeeka village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on February 15 and their bodies were found in a charred car in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani the next day.

    The family members of the deceased had named five men, including Monu, in their complaint to the police. Four others were also booked later.

    One Rinku Saini has been arrested, while others are on the run.
