Raj Vimal said, “With the arrest of Rahul Gandhi, we can easily understand how much respect the ruling party has towards Constitution. Is there any where in the Constitution that consoling a grieving family is against the law? It is unfortunate and undemocratic that they arrested the family members of Grewal, who are in deep sorrow and mourning the loss their family member. We demand the BJP led government tender an apology for their act or else the Youth Congress will take up agitation across the State.”
