"The Prime Minister should end his silence. Until then we will keep staging Parliament 'gherao' and won't allow the House to function. PM should explain his stand on the allegations against these leaders," Indian Youth Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja told reporters.
He raised the issues of Swaraj's help to controversial former IPL chief Lalit Modi in getting travel papers and the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh among others.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is under pressure to step down over Vyapam scam, in which allegedly more than 40 people connected with the case have died in suspicious circumstances.
Referring to the alleged scams, Raja said when UPA was in power it would come clear on every allegation, but the Government is silent on charges against its ministers.

"Modi is behaving like Hitler. After so many accusations, Hitler Modi is not ready to answer. Whenever UPA faced allegations, it did explain its stand in the House. The nation is looking at him, he should explain his stand now," Raja said and renewed the party's demand for a Supreme Court monitored CBI probe in Vyapam scam.
"In coming days, she may also say she received call from Rahul Gandhi. Until now, she kept quiet. Why didn't she tweet earlier? Why did she not tell in Parliament that a Congress leader pressurised her? Today she is claiming so as her own house is burning. She is unable to extinguish the fire in her home, so she is trying to set afire houses of others," he said.
The policemen also made mild use of water cannon to disperse the workers, who were later detained along with Raja.
