Scores of Youth Congress activists staged a demonstration at the Noida residence of Union Minister Mahesh Sharma today protesting against BJP's alleged "policy of intolerance".

"The Youth Congress in Western UP has planned a 'Ghera Dalo Dera Dalo' programme to protest against intolerance of ruling BJP and its leader and the demonstration at Sharma's house was its beginning," IYC state president (west) Amanatullah said.

The activists raised slogans against Sharma and BJP government at Centre during the demonstration before they were forcibly removed from the residence of the minister by the police.

"We will hold more such demonstrations in protest against BJP's policy of intolerance in the coming days to stop its leaders from weakening the secular fabric of the society," Amantullah added.
