As per news agency ANI, Gandhi added that he sought to speak about the upcoming Maha Kumbh mela and the growing problem regarding unemployment, but was not allowed to do so.
"I did nothing, I was quietly sitting. Yet, whenever I stand up, I am prevented from speaking. There is no place for democracy here," he said.
