While accepting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's instructions to put a ban on the red beacon in order to bring an end to VIP culture, the Congress on Monday demanded that the road blockade for the president and prime minister must also be banned.

"If the government feels that putting ban on red beacon would remove the VIP culture in the country then I think road blockade for the President and Prime Minister must also be banned to discourage the VIP culture," Congress leader Ashok Chaudhary said. 

Chaudhary drew an analogy between a 'superficial surgery' and the current ban on red beacon, saying that the government's aim should be to ban several things encouraging VIP culture instead of focusing on only one.
