Congress flexes muscles in Jaipur; protest march held over school photo/video ban; government lashes out at the opposition.

Congress staged a massive protest in Jaipur today against the Bhajan government. Party leaders organized a protest march—joined by a large number of workers—to oppose the government’s decision regarding schools. A major commotion ensued as Congress MLAs demonstrated outside the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly; the MLAs alleged that they were being prevented from entering the House and that the gates had been locked. They accused the government of not being serious about children’s safety. Meanwhile, the government has accused the opposition of misleading the public.
