Is there any where in the Constitution says that consoling a grieving family is against the law? It is unfortunate and undemocratic that they arrested the family members of Grewal, who are in deep sorrow and mourning the loss their family member. We demand the BJP led government tender an apology for their act, or else the Youth Congress will launch agitation across the State.”
