Delhi police detained Congress leaders and activists Tuesday after they staged a protest and indefinite dharna outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence [1, 2].

The demonstration signals an escalating confrontation between the opposition and the government during the second day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. By disrupting the capital's security and forcing legislative delays, the protest highlights deep-seated grievances over national examination integrity and civil liberties.

Those detained include Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Mallikarjun Kharge of the Congress party, along with activists from the CJP and Sonam Wangchuk [1, 2, 3]. The protesters demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister, citing an alleged crackdown on NEET protesters and scandals involving leaked examination papers [1, 4].

Clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement resulted in injuries to several police personnel [2]. The unrest extended from Lok Kalyan Marg to Jantar Mantar, where security was tightened to prevent further escalations [2, 3].

"They are scared," Priyanka Gandhi said [1].

Sonam Wangchuk, who has been a prominent figure in the demonstrations, expressed his commitment to the cause. "I will continue my hunger strike," Wangchuk said [2].

The disruption outside the Prime Minister's official residence coincided with turmoil inside the legislature. The protests led to the adjournment of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha [1, 5].

"Security has been tightened around Parliament," a Delhi Police spokesperson said [3].

The combined pressure of the CJP protests and the opposition's demands has effectively stalled the legislative agenda for the day, as both houses of Parliament were unable to conduct business due to the ongoing unrest [1, 5].

“"They are scared."”

The synchronization of street protests and parliamentary disruptions suggests a strategic effort by the opposition to leverage public anger over the NEET paper leaks into a broader political crisis. By targeting the Prime Minister's residence and involving high-profile activists like Sonam Wangchuk, the movement is attempting to frame administrative failures as a systemic crisis necessitating a change in leadership.
