'My message to students: you have nothing to fear. We are standing with you': Rahul
In a strong condemnation of the actions taken against protesters, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, branding him as "Mogambo Modi" for allegedly destroying India's democracy. Gandhi assured students that they "have nothing to fear" and that the opposition stands with them, vowing to bring those responsible for the attacks on democracy to justice. He dismissed Modi's claim of the game being over, telling students not to worry and to continue questioning the regime.
The opposition, including Congress party, Left parties, and various other Indian allies, organized a massive protest march against the alleged "Gyanesh & Co" and demanded a memorandum from the Chief Justice of India for intervention. Senior Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, Jairam Ramesh, KC Venugopal and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, strongly condemned the police crackdown and attempts to hinder protests.
Notably, Mamata Banerjee, leader of the Trinamool Congress and former West Bengal Chief Minister, described the situation in Delhi as going beyond Emergency, declaring it a "Super Emergency."
Human rights activists and media organizations have also issued statements condemning the excessive police force and restrictions imposed on peaceful protesters. Despite these condemnations, the opposition continues to rally for democracy and justice, urging citizens to stand up and protect their constitutional rights.
