Congress leader Deepender Hooda who was earlier detained added that “We had demanded that there be discussion in Parliament on inflation, unemployment, Agnipath & misuse of agencies. The Government rejected it. We said we’ll protest at Rajghat on this, but weren’t permitted. We said that we’ll give a memorandum to the President. They didn’t permit it.”
