New Delhi, June 11 (TIWN) Hundreds of Congress workers on Friday staged protest at several petrol pumps across the national capital against the spiralling prices of petrol and diesel, hitting record highs.

Venugopal said that under the UPA government, the tax on petrol and diesel stood at Rs 9.20. Now, it is Rs 32.  "The government should stop imposing excise duty on petrol and diesel. It should come under the purview of Goods and Services Tax. We demand a complete rollback of fuel price hike," Venugopal, who is the Congress general secretary, said.
