  "account": "New Delhi: Following united street protests by leaders of the INDIA bloc, their movement paused on Tuesday despite a meeting convened by Rahul Gandhi. The decision to narrow down protests to occasional outings during the festival season was influenced by sustainability concerns. The Cockroach Janta Party's opposition to the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a protest site also pressured the bloc to take action. While no official statement on future protests was made, sources suggest the pause will last until at least the third week of October due to Navratri-Durga puja and Diwali-Dusshera-Chhat festivities. Congress plans to hold a scheduled rally on November 1, and other parties will address concerns from home constituencies instead of staying in Delhi. Opposition lawyers seek an emergency hearing in the Supreme Court for their petition, hoping for an interim stay on SIR. Some participants suggested shifting protests to states or Varanasi, but most felt Delhi was ideal for maximum impact. All leaders vowed to fight unitedly, vowing perseverance and a \"surprise effect.\"",
