High-Voltage Drama Outside PM Residence
Rahul Gandhi detained: The opposition leaders gathered with hundreds of party workers to demand accountability. They actively raised voices against recent national exam paper leaks. Furthermore, they fiercely condemned the police crackdown on peaceful student demonstrators.
Security forces deployed heavy barricading around the high-security zone immediately. However, Congress workers breached the initial layers while chanting anti-government slogans.
Police Action and Detention
Consequently, security personnel scrambled to contain the rising tension. Police repeatedly ordered the crowd to disperse due to prohibitory orders in the area.
Because the protestors refused to back down, the police started detaining key leaders. Visually striking images showed Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi being forced into police vehicles.
Focus on Student Welfare
Before his detention, Rahul Gandhi briefly addressed the media. He stated that the government is actively destroying the future of millions of youth. Additionally, he asserted that silencing students who fight for justice is completely unacceptable.
Priyanka Gandhi also lashed out at the administration on the spot. She questioned why the government protects corrupt officials instead of helping regular students. Meanwhile, Congress workers have threatened nationwide protests if the detained leaders are not released immediately.
