"We detained thirteen Youth Congress workers, including its district President Sandeep Malviya, Yaseem Khan, Gudda Baghel, before they could show black flags to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj," District Superintendent of Police Dipak Verma said.
The workers were later released.
The district YC Congress had announced that it would show black flags to Swaraj, an MP from Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh, when she came to Raisen district to take part at a meeting. Raisen falls under Vidisha constituency.
"As long as Shushma does not fulfil her promises, we have decided to show black flags to her, whenever she comes here," Malviya said.
In another development, Sushma became an active member of district BJP by paying a fee of Rs 500.
BJP district President Rajendra Agrawal made her the active member of the party at a function, which was attended among others by MP Ministers Gaurishanker Shejwar, Rampal Singh and Surendra Patwa.
