"Modi government has crossed every limit of barbarism. Former home minister P Chidambaram was hit by police, his glasses were thrown on the ground, he has a hairline fracture in his left rib. MP Pramod Tiwari was thrown on the road. Head injury and rib fracture. Is this a democracy?" Randeep Surjewala said on Monday.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram confirmed his injury via a Twitter post, saying that he was "lucky to get away with a suspected hairline crack".

"When three big,



burly policemen crash into you, you are lucky to get away with a suspected hairline crack! Doctors have said that if there is a hairline crack, it will heal by itself in about 10 days. I am fine and I will go about my work tomorrow," P Chidamabaram posted on Twitter.

Congress leaders and workers took to the streets on Monday in Delhi and various state capitals as Rahul Gandhi appeared before the ED for questioning in the National Herald case.
