Around 700 activists of CPI-M led by state secretary M Y Tarigami assembled at Pratap Park here, just outside the Congress headquarters, and raised slogans against the nuclear deal and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
As soon as Tarigami finished his address, the activists took to Maulana Azad Road for the rally.
