Congress legislators continued their sit-in protest inside the Assembly while the party held protests at all district headquarters on Saturday. Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully said that the MLAs spent Friday night in the assembly and the dharna will continue. During the Question Hour on Friday, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Avinash Gehlot pointed to the opposition and said, \”In the 2023-24 budget also, like always, you named the scheme (on working women’s hostels) after your ‘Dadi’ (grandmother) Indira Gandhi.\” This remark led to a heavy uproar in the House, which led to three adjournments. The suspension of six MLAs was an arbitrary move by the government, said party leader Sunil Kumar. The Congressmen burnt the effigy of the minister during the protest and tried to enter the collectorate premises but they were stopped by the police. They demanded an apology from the minister and demanded the minister’s resignation. The protests were held at all the district headquarters in which a large number of Congress workers and leaders participated.
