New Delhi, March 28: The Congress MPs and other leaders will hold a ‘Save Democracy torchlight march’ from the Red Fort to Town Hall in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk on Tuesday.
The protest will be held against the alleged “authoritarian and autocratic” rule of the Modi government at the Centre. The protest comes in light of Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification following his conviction in Surat Court.
