Congress to ‘Gherao’ Rashtrapati Bhavan, Raj Bhavans in Protest Next Week

The party has been protesting on the issue of price rise and GST since the session began on 18 July in both Houses.

The Congress party has planned to hold a massive nationwide protest against price rise and unemployment on Friday, 5 August.

The party members of both the Houses of Parliament – Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha – will participate in the 'Chalo Rashtrapati Bhavan' march. The party is also organising a 'Raj Bhavan Gherao' in all the states, in which all the Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), Members of the Legislative Council (MLCs), former Members of Parliament (MPs), and senior leaders are expected to participate.

All elected public representatives of the Congress, from the grassroots level, have been directed to protest.

The Lok Sabha is likely to have a debate on price rise on Monday, 1 August, followed by Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, 2 August.
