Indian Youth Congress (IYC) activists today staged a protest demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi to respond to allegations on the Rafale deal.
The protest led by IYC chief Amrinder Singh Raja began from the IYC headquarters on Raisina Road. The activists, however, were stopped by police while marching towards the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
"PM Modi needs to answer to the nation as to why no action is being taken against these continuous scams occurring in the country," he said.
