New Delhi, Aug 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) Congress on Friday is holding nationwide protests against inflation, unemployment and hiked GST rates.
The party is also planning to hold a protest at the Prime Minister's Residence though the Delhi Police have denied the permission.
All the party general secretaries, state in-charges and state presidents have been given directions to stage the protest at all levels in their respective states. They were also told to ensure that the office-bearers of the party connect with the public for the nationwide agitation.
Following the demand raised by the opposition parties, a discussion on price rise was held in the Lok Sabha on Monday, wherein the Congress alleged that inflation is affecting every household.
