Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi and Wayanand MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are among top Congress leaders holding sit-in protest outside Prime Minister’s residence – 7 Lok Kalyan Marg.
Gandhi, accompanied by sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Congress leaders, reached the Prime Minister’s address at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg. The protesting Congress leaders raised slogans, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
This is for the first time that any opposition leader has held a protest outside PM’s high-security official residence. This comes a day after thousands of people took part in march to Parliament organised by Cockroach Janta Party‘s (CJP) over NEET irregularities, with several confrontations breaking out between protesters and the police in central Delhi. The police has faced flak for excesses during the protest that was blocked from marching ahead to the Parliament from Jantar Mantar.
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi accused the Centre of using police force to suppress students raising genuine concerns over the education and examination systems.
“The entire country knows the education system and testing system are broken; it has ceased to exist. The testing system has been hollowed out by termites. That is all they are saying. We have been saying it too. I have been giving presentation after presentation about this. Why is the Prime Minister silent?” Gandhi told reporters outside Parliament were the Congress party has demanded a debate on police action during CJP protest during the Monsoon Session which began on Monday
