Our party’s women MPs and office bearers, including me, were marching peacefully from our AICC headquarters today. We are women party workers. We were exercising our democratic right to protest. Delhi Police behaved brutally with us. There were also some paramilitary force personnel there. They dragged me and others. They used brute force. About ten people picked me and other people up and threw them on a bus. We protested. About 60-70 policemen were present there. They refused to give us water for an hour. We tried to buy water but they threatened the waterman and sent him out. Be it a woman MP or a woman or an MP of any political party, this is not the way to behave. This is not the democracy we want.”
