Congress will hold a symbolic protest at petrol pumps across the country on Friday against the rising fuel prices that have crossed the ₹100-mark at several places, including Mumbai.
According to party general secretary KC Venugopal, the protests will be organised by the local units of the party in compliance with all Covid safety protocols prescribed by the administration.
Venugopal has said that the demonstration is to highlight public interest such as problems being faced due to the spiralling prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas.
In addition to this, the party’s focus is also on the unprecedented economic slowdown, the rising unemployment and skyrocketing prices of all essential commodities, he said.
