NewsX: Around 2000 workers from the Bharatiya Janata Party clashed with the Delhi Police today after they defied prohibitory orders and attempted to march towards Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's 7 Race Course Road residence in central Delhi.

The president of the BJP's youth wing, Anurag Thakur, and the head of the party's Delhi unit, Vijay Goel, led the protest march in their demand for the PM's resignation over the coal scam. Both leaders, along with several protestors, were detained and taken to the Tughlaq Road police station.
