New Delhi: Congress workers on Tuesday held a demonstration outside BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s Nizamuddin residence for his controversial statements against the party leadership.

About 200 party supporters joined the protest led by Congress Legislative Party leader Haroon Yusuf and Delhi Congress spokesperson Mukesh Sharma.

The protest started at about 3 pm in front of the Nizamuddin police station and went up to Mr Swamy’s residence. The police had sealed all entry points to Mr Swamy’s residence following which the protesters clashed with them. A scuffle broke out between the

police and the protesters after they tried to break the barricades, which were put up. When the protest took place, Mr Swamy was not present at his residence.

On Sunday, Mr Swamy had said about Priyanka Gandhi that she is very unpopular, she drinks too much alcohol and she has a bad name.

Congress leader Ajay Maken, meanwhile, said that Mr Swamy has an “unhealthy mind” and accused him of “crossing all limits.”
