  "account": "Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the BJP of violence against students and women during a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The INDIA bloc alliance plans to hold a rally on October 12, with Gandhi stating that the government's suppression of the youth will only intensify their anger. Amit Shah's Delhi Police and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-BJP workers are allegedly resorting to thuggery and allowing violence against the youth, according to Gandhi. He further accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of undermining democracy and suppressing dissent, comparing Modi to the villain Mogambo from the movie Mr India. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also criticized the Prime Minister for the developments, recalling the lessons learned during the anti-Emergency movement. The protest at Jantar Mantar saw mass detentions and a heavy police deployment, with allegations of a crackdown on democratic rights. Around 1,000 people were detained, including prominent Opposition leaders.",
