New Delhi: Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, accompanied by party president Mallikarjun Kharge, staged a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lok Kalyan Marg residence on Tuesday, demanding his resignation over the police action against students protesting the alleged NEET question paper leak.

The Congress leaders, joined by several MPs and party workers, held a dharna and raised slogans against the prime minister. Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan also participated in the protest.

Earlier in the day, the Congress leaders marched towards the Prime Minister’s residence, accusing the Centre of unleashing “police brutality” on students during the CJP-led march to Parliament on Monday. “We have marched to PM Modi’s house to demand answers from him for the brutalities against young students yesterday. The Government doesn’t want to take any accountability, nor does it want to have a debate on it in Parliament,” Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.

“The Prime Minister and Home Minister must resign for destroying the future of India’s youth,” the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha added.

Before the protest, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Congress leaders visited the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where they met students who were injured during Monday’s police action.
