Youth Congress activists here burnt Modi's effigy at the busy Hazratganj Crossing to mark the protest.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul today sought and got bail in the National Herald case after a local court rejected complainant Subramanian Swamy's opposition to the relief for them on the ground they are influential and can flee the country.
The case is based on a private criminal complaint lodged by Swamy against them of cheating, conspiracy and criminal breach of trust.
