The Union Minister said the Congress had frequently organised protests and sit-ins when it was in the Opposition. However, he alleged that the same party was now acting against those exercising their democratic right to protest.

Referring to the NEET issue, he said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was prepared to discuss the matter in Parliament. He challenged Congress leaders to participate in a debate instead of resorting to protests.
The BJP leader reiterated his demand for the immediate release of Ramachandra Rao and said the party would continue to oppose what it described as the state government’s undemocratic actions. (Maxim News)
