New Delhi: Indian Youth Congress, on Thursday, held a demonstration against the Central Government's new policy of 'National Monetization Pipeline', accusing the Prime Minister of putting the country on sale.

While speaking over the matter, IYC President Srinivas BV said, "Those who had vowed that they would not let the country be sold, they are selling everything to their friends one by one under the National Mitigation Scheme. Road, rail, airport, electricity, gas, petrol, stadium, everything is being sold. The Prime Minister is not working for the people of India, but to establish a monopoly of 2 or 3 industrialists."

"Everything this country has built in the last 70 years is being sold keeping the interest of the countrymen at bay, Modi government is only being good for itself and its few friends," he further alleged.

Rahul Rao, media incharge of IYC told ETV Bharat that Congress will continue to fight this issue until the Government takes its decision back.

IYC members held a protest in front of the Shastri Bhawan which is close to Parliament House, in Delhi. Due to the protest, many of the IYC members were also detained by the Delhi Police.
