Opposition Leaders Detained During Protest Outside PM Modi's ResidencePreviousNext

Opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Akhilesh Yadav were detained by Delhi Police during a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence demanding accountability from the Union Education Minister. Former cricketer and Telangana Minister Mohammed Azharuddin and Congress leader Siddaramaiah condemned the detentions, criticizing the government's response to peaceful dissent and urging dialogue on student concerns. Videos showed police forcibly removing Rahul Gandhi, who emphasized democratic rights while resisting arrest. The opposition asserts that such actions suppress democratic voices and fail to address student issues.
