Congress Leaders Engage with Viral CJP Protester Mohammad Irfan in Delhi
Mohammad Irfan, a daily wage worker who gained attention during the Cockroach Janata Party protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, shared a humorous exchange with Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi. Priyanka jokingly asked Irfan to convince Rahul to marry, which he declined. Rahul Gandhi later visited Irfan's home in Savda JJ Colony, listening to his views on democracy, the Constitution, and workers' rights, and invited him and his family to Parliament. Despite limited formal education, Irfan educated himself on social issues through online resources.
