A combative Sonia Gandhi on Friday attacked the Modi government for \"murdering\" democracy and unleashing a campaign of \"baseless allegations\" against the opposition, as top Congress leaders hit the streets and courted arrest near Parliament.
Opposition leader in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, party leader in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and others courted arrest at Parliament Street Police station after they were stopped from marching to Parliament. They were released after a short while.
Sonia said that the way the Centre has toppled Congress governments in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand through \"money and muscle power has not only shaken the foundation of democracy, but has murdered it\".
The AgustaWestland issue appeared to be weighing heavily on her mind as Sonia targeted the Modi dispensation accusing it of starting \"this game of leveling baseless allegations against leaders of opposition parties\".
The rally saw Rahul Gandhi and Manmohan Singh also attacking the Modi dispensation over pulling down of Congress governments in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Asserting that her party will play role of an \"alert\" opposition with \"full vigour\" both inside and outside Parliament, she asked partymen to \"unmask\" the Modi Government.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi were taken into custody along with Sonia Gandhi, who predicted that the Government's days were numbered the way it was functioning.
