A group of men's rights activists staged a dharna near Mahatma Gandhi statue yesterday asking people not to vote for the Congress.
The reason for their protest is that they feel that the party is "too pro women." They believe men are being exploited by the Congress.
"Through the Domestic Violence Act, the Congress party has incited a woman versus woman war, and the price is paid by Indian men," said Virag Dhulia of Save Indian Family Foundation.

The Bangalore based foundation has started their campaign against the Congress throughout the country.
"Our Delhi and Pune members have already distributed pamphlets and are asking people not to vote for the party. We at Bangalore have designed our pamphlet and will distribute them soon. Besides, we have also been sending emails and have put up the appeal on our various websites and blogs," said Virag.
The group claims that they are confident that their votes are huge enough to defeat the Congress. "Men harassed by misuse of women's law amount to two per cent of the total votes in the country. If these people do not vote for the Congress, there will be a spin at the government formation," he said.
The group has no problem if the people vote for any party other than the Congress. "Vote for any party, but not for congress and give a clear message that anti-husband, anti-men, anti-family and anti-child law and policy will not be accepted in this country by political party.
