Congress is observing a day-long 'Satyagraha' on Sunday in front of Gandhi statues at all state and district headquarters to protest against Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as MP from the Lok Sabha.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will stage the Satyagraha at Raj Ghat in the national capital.

The party feels that Rahul Gandhi's conviction and disqualification, which it has alleged was done in reaction to his consistently questioning the relationship between PM Narendra Modi and businessman Gautam Adani, poses a serious threat to the world's largest democracy.
