Lokpal bill: Protests outside Rahul Gandhi's residence

Last Updated 26 August 2011, 11:00 IST

Anna supporters have for the past few days picketed houses of MPs, including Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and BJP leader L K Advani, after Hazare's campaign managers called on people to protest outside residences of MPs.

They had also protested in front of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Race Course Road residence yesterday.

The protest in front of Gandhi's residence came hours after he broke his silence on the contentious issue of the Lokpal Bill, praising Hazare but strongly advocating adherence to constitutional principles.

The protesters, who raised slogans in support of Hazare and against corruption, were later detained.
