Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): City Congress Committee organised a huge demonstration at Tower Chowk on Sunday to protest against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi’s membership from Lok Sabha in wake Surat’s court’s order in a defamation case.

Donning black outfits and bands, Congress leaders and workers reached Tower Chowk and after staging a protest for over three hours, marched in a form of rally and traversed the Freeganj area from Tower to Shaheed Park. Around 100 black-coloured balloons were flown at Tower Chowk. A protester was seen with a slogan ‘Save Democracy’ written on his back.

Former MP Satyanarayan Pawar, former MLA Batuk Shankar Joshi, leader of opposition Ravi Rai, Anantnarayan Meena, Rajhajur Singh Gaur and Chetan Yadav participated in the protest and rally.
