Congress youth wing holds protest in Delhi

New Delhi : The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) members on Saturday staged a protest near Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's residence here, accusing the BJP of using the Income Tax Department for raiding office and houses of Congress employees.

The protesters tried to march towards Sitharaman's residence on Safdarjang Road but were stopped by the police. "The BJP government at the Centre is using agencies to conduct raids on salaried employees of the Congress to divert attention from deteriorating economy and growing unemployment," IYC president Srinivas BV alleged.
