Congress to intensify stir

New Delhi: The Delhi Congress said Tuesday it would intensify its agitation against the AAP and the BJP over sealing of illegal commercial establishments, saying the drive has threatened the livelihood of nearly three lakh people in the city. 

Under its "Nyay Yudh" campaign against the sealing of allegedly non-polluting household industries, the party will organise a 'Vyapar Bachao-Mazdoor Bachao' rally in Karol Bagh on Friday, convener of the campaign Mukesh Sharma said. 

"We will also announce direct action against AAP and BJP, which are responsible for endangering livelihood of nearly three lakh labourers and traders by not taking steps to stop the sealing drive," he told reporters at a press conference. 

Sharma alleged that BJP-ruled municipal corporations have realised nearly Rs 20,000 crore as penalty and conversion charges against the rules, from people affected by the sealing exercise.
