Tens of thousands of farmers have been agitating against at the borders of the national capital for almost a month now.
The Delhi Police on Thursday stopped a delegation of Congress leaders led by Rahul Gandhi from marching to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to submit a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind, seeking his intervention for the withdrawal of farm laws.
Several of the Congress leaders including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained and taken to Mandir Marg police station for violating Section 144 clamped in the New Delhi area in the backdrop of the Congress march from Vijay Chowk to Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Calling the government a "sinner”, Ms Gandhi-Vadra said, “Sometimes they say we are so weak that we don't qualify as Opposition and sometimes, they say that we are so powerful that we have made lakhs of farmers camp at the border (of Delhi) for a month. They should first decide what we are," she told reporters from inside the green, DTC bus in which she and other leaders were kept.
"It is a sin to use the kind of names they used for farmers. If the government is calling them anti-nationals, then the government is a sinner," she said.
