Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Lead Protest Near PM's Residence, Demand PM Modi's Resignation

Congress Leaders Lead Demonstration

Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined party leaders and workers in a protest near the Prime Minister's residence, where they criticised the Central Government and called for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation.

The demonstration was part of a broader Opposition campaign on issues being raised during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament.

Opposition's Demands

During the protest, Congress leaders demanded:

• The Prime Minister's resignation.

• Accountability over issues concerning students and examination irregularities.

• A response to concerns raised by the Opposition in Parliament.

• Greater transparency and dialogue on matters of public interest.

These demands reflect the Congress party's political position.

Security and Police Action

The protest took place in a high-security area where restrictions on public gatherings are in force.

Delhi Police deployed security personnel and barricades around the Prime Minister's residence. Reports indicated that several protesters were detained after attempting to proceed towards the restricted zone.

Political Context

The protest comes amid heightened political confrontation between the ruling BJP and Opposition parties during the Monsoon Session.

The Congress has intensified its criticism of the government over issues including examination reforms, governance, and the handling of recent protests.

Looking Ahead

The demonstration is expected to further escalate political tensions in Parliament, with both the government and the Opposition likely to continue exchanging sharp criticism as the Monsoon Session progresses.
