Around 100 Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) workers were placed under house arrest in Varanasi during a recent visit by Prime Minister Modi. The authorities implemented these measures to prevent a planned protest against allegations of vote fraud occurring during the event. The workers were confined to their residences and restricted from participating in public activities. The government cited concerns about maintaining order and preventing potential disruption to the Prime Minister’s scheduled engagements as justification for the restrictions. No official statement confirming the extent of the restrictions has been released.
