Youth Congress workers try to lay siege to RSS office in Hubballi, detained

Members of the Youth Congress, led by unit president Arjun Patil, attempted to lay siege to the RSS office in Hubballi on Saturday. However, the police thwarted their attempt by detaining several of them.

The police had made elaborate security arrangements by barricading the roads leading to the RSS office on Gokul Road well in advance in view of the protest.

The Youth Congress members were stopped near the NWKRTC depot on Gokul Road and were not allowed to proceed further. They raised slogans against RSS, condemned in strong terms the threat call to Minister Priyank Kharge and demanded a ban on RSS.
