The Congress workers on Friday staged a demonstration here to protest against BJP MP Pragya Thakur's remarks praising Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse in the Lok Sabha.
Led by UPCC president Ajay Kumar Lallu, a large number of party men staged a sit-in before the Mahatma Gandhi statue in the GPO Park here and raised slogans against Sadhvi Pragya and sang bhajans, a party release said.
Speaking on the occasion, Lallu said, "Prayag Thakur's statement on Thursday in the temple of democracy has hurt the sentiments of the people of the country."
