Ahead of Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Indore on September 19, police imposed 31 security conditions, including references to the Verma Commission report on Rajiv Gandhi's 1991 assassination. Congress alleges Madhya Pradesh authorities pressured coaching centres to deter student participation and criticized the use of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination as intimidation. Police stated these measures aimed to ensure safety and crowd control. The BJP denied obstruction claims, while Congress accused it of creating hurdles, amid a dispute over venue changes and security arrangements.
