Rahul Gandhi Supports Student Protests Demanding Women's Safety in Delhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has supported student-led protests demanding greater safety for women, urging especially young women from Gen Z to join. He criticized the government's response to sexual crimes, calling it victim-blaming and patriarchal, and called for safer public spaces and swift punishment for perpetrators. Gandhi emphasized that restricting women's freedom is not the solution and described peaceful protest as a democratic right. The protests follow recent incidents of violence against women in Delhi, including a gang rape near Lady Shri Ram College.
