Lucknow: Congress General Secy for UP(East) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met the family of former IPS officer SR Darapuri, who was arrested for taking part in anti-CAA protest. The Congress leader's carcade was stopped twice today. She walked around 2 km to the residence of S.R. Darapuri.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi travelled on a two-wheeler after she was stopped by UP police while she was on her way. She was also prevented by the police, here on Saturday, from meeting the family of Congress leader Sadaf Jafar, who has been arrested over anti-CAA protests.
"There's no point stopping us on road. It's not an issue of SPG but of UP police," Priyanka said.
Earlier during the day, she attended the party's 135th Foundation Day celebrations, here, and administered the oath of the Preamble of the Constitution to party workers.
She asked the party workers to follow the path of great Congress leaders who made the supreme sacrifice for the country, and also urged them to oppose all those who attacked the Constitution and its values.

"We are the voice of the last man standing on the edge of society. Love, brotherhood and peace are the facets of truth. We take a pledge to stick to our ideology of non-violence and kindness. We are the Congress," she said.
She will later meet key state party leaders to chalk out campaigns for 2020 and form an advisory council and strategy groups for this.
