Activists of Indian Youth Congress today staged a protest in the national capital accusing the Narendra Modi-led government and RSS of "blatantly misusing" CBI against Congress leaders.

In an apparent reference to recent CBI raid at the residence of Virbhadra Singh, IYC spokesperson Amrish Ranjan Pandey said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is using government machinery and unethical means to destabilise and bring down democratically-elected Congress government in Himachal Pradesh, which has mandate of people of the state."

The protest, led by IYC national president Amarinder Singh Raja, started from Raisina Road (IYC Office) and was headed towards the Prime Minister's Office. "Water canon was used to disperse the youth Congress workers," Pandey claimed.
 

"The Modi government has failed to give justice to the people of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra by avoiding to take cognisable action against their leaders like Vasundhara Raje, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Sushma Swaraj and Pankaja Munde in corruption cases.

"And now, it was indulging in taking political revenge against the Congress leaders," he alleged

IYC general secretary Srinivas BV, IYC secretary Sitaram Lamba, Delhi Pradesh Youth Congress Committee president Amit Mallik were among those who participated in the protest.
