Scores of Youth Congress protesters raised slogans against AAP and its spokesperson Ashutosh as they marched on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg from Congress office to AAP office on the same road. The protesters distributed autobiographies of Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru at AAP office as a symbolic protest against Ashutosh’s remarks in a controversial blog in which he supported expelled party MLA Sandeep Kumar, who has been arrested on rape charge, drawing parallels with Gandhi and Nehru, among others.
