Delhi Police made an unexpected change on Thursday, allowing opposition leaders to reach Raj Ghat for a brief protest. This came after two days of police preventing INDIA bloc leaders from marching to their chosen sites. The INDIA alliance MPs held a peaceful sit-in at Raj Ghat, paying homage to Bapu and praying for the Modi government to exhibit sound judgment.
