Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday lashed out at news reporters when asked about his earlier tweet on 'lynching'. He angrily attacked the media saying, 'Diversion mat Karo. Maine aapse kuch kaha? Sarkar ki dalali mat karo'.
The incident took place during a protest march taken out by opposition MPs in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, in which they marched from Gandhi statue in Parliament to Vijay Chowk, demanding suspension of MoS Home Ajay Mishra Teni over Lakhimpur Kheri issue.
In a video shared by news agency ANI, reporters can be seen questioning the Congress leader, while Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut tried controlling Gandhi when he hit out at the media.

During today's protest in the national capital, Gandhi was among several voices from the opposition demanding Ajay Mishra Teni's resWe will not spare him; today or tomorrow, he will be sent to jail".
