  "account": "Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, urged young people to continue protesting and asserted that the current regime, along with those who have attacked the Constitution, will be defeated. Speaking in Chennai for his Chhatron Ki Goonj event, Gandhi claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are characterized by cowardice. He stated that these leaders are slowly finding their space closing around them, with a broader crackdown in the works.\n\nGandhi pledged that the government will continue to surround and apprehend key individuals, including Modi, Amit Shah, Mohan Bhagwat, Gyanesh Kumar, and Ajit Doval. He encouraged authorities to arrest all leaders and young people, emphasizing that the opposition is closing in on these individuals. Gandhi emphasized that he has fought against Modi and the RSS for over a decade, understanding them as deeply as one would understand one's opponent. He reiterated that the core characteristic of these people is cowardice and vowed to defend the Constitution and protect the voice of the Indian people.\n\nHe called on the youth to keep protesting, standing firmly with them, and assured that the regime will be defeated. Gandhi also shared a video of his remarks, which coincided with a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Police detained over 3,000 protesters and over 600 individuals with criminal records, citing lack of permission and prohibitory orders in the area. Gandhi's words underscored his commitment to ensuring justice and safeguarding the Constitution.",
