The demonstration, aimed at criticizing the government's stance on farmer distress, unemployment, and inflation, was met with significant police resistance and raised issues of democratic suppression.

In a dramatic turn of events, Congress leaders and workers, including Uttar Pradesh chief Ajay Rai and state incharge Avinash Pande, were detained on Wednesday while trying to stage a protest at the state assembly during its Winter Session.

The Congress aimed to highlight grievances over farmer distress, unemployment, inflation, and the law and order situation but faced significant resistance from law enforcement.

Despite the heavy police presence and barricades that marred traffic, Congress vowed to persist in challenging the BJP government's policies, branding them as unjust and suppressive of democratic rights.
