After the Yatra entered the city, Congress said that Delhi Police, which is a division of the Union Home Ministry, "totally failed in regulating the surging mob."
In New Delhi: In a letter sent to Home Minister Amit Shah today, the Congress accused the Bharat Jodo Yatra of having major security lapses and demanded that party leader Rahul Gandhi be given the protection he needs.
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said in a letter to the home minister that the Yatra's security was repeatedly jeopardised when it entered Delhi on Saturday.
The Union Home Ministry-affiliated Delhi Police, according to a letter, "totally failed in managing the rising crowd and establishing a perimeter around Shri Rahul Gandhi, who is assigned Z+ Security."
The situation, it continued, was so bad that Congress workers and Bharat Yatris who were accompanying Mr. Gandhi had to set up a perimeter for security. It claimed that the Delhi Police were "silent spectators."
The opposition party also claimed that Yatra participants were being questioned by the Intelligence Bureau.
Additionally, Mr. Venugopal noted a police report the group had made in Gurgaon, Haryana, "about unknown miscreants, belonging to Haryana State Intelligence, illegally accessing Bharat Jodo Yatra's containers."
The letter continued by stating that it is everyone's constitutional freedom to travel wherever in India. "A Padvatra to bring peace and harmony to the nation is the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The government should protect the safety and security of the Congress leaders rather than engage in vengeful politics "It was ad.
The party demanded stronger security for Rahul Gandhi's Yatra when it entered Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, citing the sacrifices made by Congress leaders such as Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi for the country's unity.
"The Bharat Jodo Yatra will next go through the delicate states of Punjab and J&K beginning on January 3, 2022. Regarding this, I kindly ask you to act quickly to safeguard the protection and safety of Shri Rahul Gandhi, a Z+ protectee, as well as of all the Bharat Yatris and leaders participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra "It said.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera claimed there was a "plot" to halt the Yatra when speaking to the media. "There are attempts to discredit the Yatra. Through their police and media, those who wish to disrupt it are trying. They won't be prosperous ".
The Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya wrote to Mr. Gandhi demanding him to guarantee that Covid protocols be followed in the Yatra or stop the march in the "national interest" before the Congress made its charges of a security breach. These are "excuses" to interrupt the Yatra, the Congress MP had retorted.
