Youth Cong workers take out march to PMO over OROP, detained

Keeping up the pressure on the government over the OROP issue, scores of Congress' youth wing workers today took out a march to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) but were stopped by police.
Indian Youth Congress had planned the march to the PMO from its Raisina Road office over the "non-implementation" of the 'One Rank, One Pension' (OROP) scheme.
Police stopped the marchers, led by IYC president Amrinder Singh Raja Brar, soon after the march began.
The workers tried to climb over the barricades. Police used water cannon to disperse them.
Brar and 40-50 volunteers were detained and taken to Parliament Street police station, said a police officer.

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi was yesterday detained for the third time in two consecutive days, as Delhi Police picked him up from Jantar Mantar preventing him from leading a march protesting the suicide of an ex-serviceman, allegedly over OROP.
