Rahul issue: Congress burns PM’s effigy, massive protests across Wayanad

Thiruvananthapuram: Protests against the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from Parliament continued for the second day on Saturday in Kerala’s Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency with angry Congressmen burning Prime Minister Narendra Modi in effigy at Kalpetta.

Police had a tough time controlling the protestors, who, led by party MLA from Kalpetta (Wayanad) T Siddique, tried to barge into the BSNL office.

At Kalpetta, the protests turned violent when angry Youth Congress workers clashed with the police and when they were being moved, agitators led by Siddique tried to stop them.
