Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra staged a sit-in protest outside the AICC headquarters in the national capital today, as part of the party's nationwide protest against price rise, the GST hike on essential items and unemployment.

Party leaders were dressed in black and staged their protest against the government. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra jumped over a police barricade placed near AICC during the party's protest, with police personnel asking her to move from there as section 144 of the Code of Criminal. Then she was dragged into police van and taken away.

Earlier today, Congress MPs, including former party chief Rahul Gandhi, also staged a protest in the Parliament House complex and took out a march towards the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The protesting MPs shouted slogans, calling for the government to revoke the Goods and Services Tax (GST) hike on essential items. Later, the protesters were stopped by the Delhi Police and not permitted to proceed towards the Rashtrapati Bhawan. Sonia Gandhi did not participate in the march.
