Rahul, Priyanka detained

Indian police yesterday detained several Congress workers and leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, while they were protesting against inflation, unemployment and rising prices defying prohibitory orders imposed by police. They were released after six hours. Before starting the protest, Congress MPs led by party chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi wore black clothes to parliament. Proceedings were adjourned as Congress members created an uproar over the alleged misuse of probe agencies and the government "ignoring people's issues".
