The Mumbai Congress staged today a protest against the alleged burning of a copy of the Constitution in New Delhi and demanded that those responsible for the act be booked for sedition.
The Delhi Police arrested a 40-year-old man on Saturday for allegedly burning a copy of the Constitution in protest against the amendments in the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
Leaders and workers of the Mumbai Congress held a protest outside the Dadar railway station here and strongly condemned the incident, which they said, disrespected the Constitution and its chief architect B R Ambedkar.
Former Congress MP from South Central Mumbai Eknath Gaikwad, who led the protest, said, "Just arrest is not enough. We demand that the accused be slapped with sedition charges so that nobody dares to do such a thing again."
