Gandhis’ Akashvani Bhavan Sit-In Marks Dramatic Protest Turn
The Gandhis planned to go to the Election Commission.
Police blocked their way.
So they changed their plan.
They went into Akashvani Bhavan and used it as a place to protest.
Congress leaders said this choice happened spontaneously.
Some said only the two Gandhis knew what they were thinking when they walked in.
The account does not say what the protest was about.
It also does not give the date or the names of the two Gandhis.
The original plan was to reach the Election Commission.
A police blockade forced a change in tactics.
The Gandhis instead used Akashvani Bhavan as a protest site.
Congress leaders described the decision as spontaneous.
Some leaders said only the two Gandhis knew what they intended when they entered.
