UPDATE - follow-up to 'Chalo Dilli' protests: Rahul Gandhi assures 'legal action against PM Modi'; Kharge says 'we're not afraid to fight': Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that Delhi traders had repeatedly requested the Congress party to postpone its November 1 rally until after Diwali. Shah noted that traders raised concerns about how the protest would impact their business during the festival season.
