Workers of the Congress party staged a protest in New Delhi on November 20 against removal of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s Special Protection Group security cover, but many of the protestors did not know what they were demonstrating against in the first place.
When asked by a TV9 Bharatvarsh reporter if they knew what SPG refers to, none of the protesters had an answer. One of the people present at the site even attempted to intimidate the reporter, as can be seen in the video above.
Some people also admitted that they were students and were brought to protest, but did not know what they were protesting against, although they denied being paid money for it.
While many people dodged the questions and passed them to others standing nearby, some attempted to come up with replies like, “the protest is for government jobs”, but failed.
