New Delhi, Nov 2 (IBNS): Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Monday met President Pranab Mukherjee to raise concern about the rising intolerance in the country.
As a mark of protest, she along with her son will lead a delegation of Congress from Parliament to President House on Tuesday.
 
"Sonia Gandhi & Rahulji alongwith M.P's & AICC Office Bearers will lead a Protest March from Parliament to President House on 3rd Nov.!," Congress party spokesperson Randeep S Surjewala ‏tweeted.
 
This comes in the backdrop of scores of  writers, filmmakers, scientists, historians returning awards for rising intolerance and murder of rationalists Dr Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and MM Kalburgi besides the lynching of  Mohammad Akhlaq over rumours of consuming beef in Uttar Pradesh' Dadri area.
 
Expressing her concern over rising intolerance, Sonia had  vowed to fight the "diabolical design" of divisive forces to spread hatred, which she said "poses a threat to the unity of the country."
