Protests Erupt Over Minister's Remark Against Indira Gandhi

Congress workers launched a demonstration outside the Rajasthan assembly in protest against state minister Avinash Gehlot's comment on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The tension escalated following the remark, leading to multiple adjournments in the assembly and the suspension of six Congress MLAs.

On Monday, Congress workers gathered in a large protest outside the Rajasthan assembly, voicing their opposition to state minister Avinash Gehlot's disparaging comment on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

The protestors were stopped by police barricades as they tried to advance towards the assembly. Among those leading the demonstration were MPs Harish Meena and Murari Meena, former minister BD Kalla, and several senior party leaders.

Gehlot's controversial remarks during a Question Hour session last Friday threw the assembly into disarray, resulting in three adjournments and the suspension of six Congress MLAs. The suspended members and their supporters demanded an apology from the minister and the revocation of the suspensions in a sit-in protest at the assembly.
