The professional wing of the Congress party, forming the core of a movement, protested on Friday outside the BJP headquarters at Churchgate against what they claimed was corruption by the saffron party through electoral bonds. With less than 10 members, the All India Professionals Congress (AIPC) courted arrest with their demonstration.

Bonds explained
