In the ensuing ruckus near the Congress office, some 100 party workers were detained. The organisers had named the protest the ‘Main Bhi Gandhi’ march. All constituents of the Opposition front participated. Mumbai Congress President Varsha Gaikwad said the police tried to stop the morcha midway but the crowd kept marching ahead.

Gaikwad said aggression from the police was a way of government oppression. “It is unfortunate if permission was not granted for a silent morcha, that too for Mahatma Gandhi. Earlier, those participating in Gandhiji’s yatra used to be detained by the British… we had a similar experience today. Everybody knows under whose order the police went in aggressive mode,” she said.
