Indian opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka, along with members of their Congress party, staged a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's house, videos shared by the party showed on Tuesday, reports Reuters.
"We have marched to PM Modi’s house to demand answers from him for the brutalities against young students yesterday," Rahul Gandhi posted on X, referring to the clashes between youth protesters and police in Delhi on Monday.
"The government doesn't want to take any
accountability, nor does it want to have a debate on it in parliament," he said.
Rahul's comments came after police said 60
protesters were injured in clashes with security forces in the heart of New
Delhi on Monday, marking the biggest street rally in the capital for about five
years, reports AFP.
Thousands of protesters had gathered to
demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, following an
appeal by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) online movement.
Police fired tear gas and charged with batons
at protesters, who responded by pelting stones. At least 118 police personnel
were also injured, Delhi Police said.
