While addressing a gathering, IYC leaders alleged the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government “misled” the nation by quoting “illogical and imaginary data”.

Police have barricaded the area to stop IYC leaders and workers from marching towards the PM’s residence. Around fifty workers were detained and taken to Mandir Marg and Tughlak Road police stations, police said.
The Congress, which has launched a frontal attack on the government over the Rafale issue, is undertaking a pan India campaign to apprise people” on the deal. Party leaders are fanning out across the country, holding press conferences which will be followed by plans for district and state level agitations on the issue.
