Former Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President and MP, Ripun Bora on Thursday staged a protest by riding a bicycle to the Parliament against the exorbitant price rise in fuel.

Ripun Bora said, "We have been demanding a discussion in the Parliament on the hike in prices of all essential commodities. Being an MP, if we are not allowed a discussion in the Parliament, then, where will we raise such issues."

Congress has been repeatedly protesting against the price hike in fuel and essential commodities.

"Several protests were taken out in ASSAM against the exorbitant #PetrolDieselPriceHike. But it was now time to make the deaf ears hear, by bringing the protest to the mainland. I rode a bicycle to the parliament from my residence to protest against the sky high price rise!" tweeted Bora.
