The Janata Parivar Monday protested against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government here over various issues, including the promises made before the Lok Sabha polls and the controversy over religious conversions.
The protest took place at Jantar Mantar and parties like the Samajwadi Party, the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) - factions of the original Janata Dal - with several smaller entities participated in the protest.
Addressing the crowd, Bihar former chief minister Nitish Kumar asked: "Why has the NDA government failed to fulfil its promises made before the elections? Where is the black money that it promised to bring back?"
He accused Modi of not acting tough on the recent cases of religious conversions by right-wing Hindu groups and said the country should not be divided on religious grounds.
