Around noon, Congress workers held a meeting at Mansarovar Park and started marching in a procession, carrying black flags.

Haryana Congress president Ashok Tanwar, who led the procession, told the media that they were going to meet the Chief Minister to demand the release of cattle rights activist Sant Gopaldas, who was arrested near Shah’s camping site yesterday. He alleged that an undeclared emergency had been imposed in Rohtak during the BJP president’s three-day stay here.

As the procession reached near Ashoka office complex, the Congress workers were stopped by the police who had put up barricades there. The protesters raised slogans and tried to push back the barricades, which was resisted by the policemen. The protesting Congressmen were then taken away by the police in two buses and released later in the day.

INSO members were also detained after they tried to gate-crash into Tagore Auditorium on the MDU campus to register their protest against some remarks made by Shah about late Ch Devi Lal.

AAP members, including women, reached Shah’s camping site, Tilyar tourist complex. They were carrying placards bearing questions they wanted to put to Shah. They also raised slogans and showed black flags to Shah’s cavalcade, said AAP’s Haryana unit president Naveen Jaihind. The police detained the protesters. Another group of AAP workers staged a demonstration and raised slogans ‘Amit Shah, go back’.
