Lucknow, Dec 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has written a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, saying that preventing him from exercising his democratic rights through peaceful protests amounted to a breach of privilege.

He said that his house was surrounded by the police and even his vehicles were seized.
He urged the Speaker to immediately intervene and ensure that his democratic rights are protected.
