congress protest

Kodagu authorities have issued prohibitory measures across the district under Section 144 of the CrPC and related provisions of the Karnataka Police Act, 1963. The orders will go into effect at 6 a.m. on August 24 and will stay in force until 6 p.m. on August 27. The government has rejected permission for both the Congress protest and the BJP's Jana Jagruthi Samavesha. Both events are set for August 26.

Opposition parties including Congress, TMC, DMK, TRS, and other political leaders, staged a protest in the Lok Sabha, against the fuel price hike. On March 31, raising slogans and placards, the leaders walked out of the ongoing sabha, demanding discussion over petrol and diesel price rise. Although Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla asked leaders to stop, the protest against PM Modi-led BJP Government continued longer.
