Congress workers led by DCC President Vijay Khan assembled in front of the district headquarter here and staged the demonstration demanding quashing of the case filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy against the Congress leaders.
Later, talking to newsmen, Khan told newsmen that the case against the AICC President and Vice-President was politically motivated and BJP "deliberately" wanted to settle score to derive political mileage.
Referring to the ruling BJP government's approach towards opposition parties, Khan said the situation was worse than Emergency.
Later, a DCC delegation met the Deputy Commissioner of the district and handed over a memorandum addressed to the Jharkhand Governor in support of their demand.
