Bharat Bandh: Rahul Gandhi begins protest march from Rajghat

Congress President Rahul Gandhi began his protest march from Rajghat against rising fuel prices. The Opposition parties led by the Congress are demanding the Narendra Modi government at the Centre to bring petrol and diesel under the GST - a move that can reduce the fuel prices by Rs 15-18 per litre. The Congress party, however, urged its workers and supporters to maintain peace and abstain from violent protests during the shutdown.
