Rahul Gandhi Leads INDIA Bloc MPs In Protest, Stopped At Barricades On Way To EC Office

In New Delhi, tension mounted as INDIA bloc MPs, led by Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and KC Venugopal, were stopped by multiple layers of barricades while marching toward the Election Commission’s office. The protest, joined by opposition leaders from across parties, was aimed at submitting a memorandum on alleged vote tampering and democratic rights concerns. Holding placards with slogans like “Vote Hamara Haq Aur Adhikar” and “Savdhan Modi Sarkar,” the leaders demanded collective entry into the EC premises rather than sending a small delegation.Rahul Gandhi, taking the front line as promised, was seen engaging with police officials while Priyanka Gandhi stood alongside other women MPs. The opposition leaders made it clear they would neither stop nor step back, insisting the march continue despite police restrictions. Authorities cited the absence of permission for such a large gathering, offering no appointment for a united delegation. With the EC office only a short distance away, protesters accused the government of blocking their democratic outreach. The stand-off highlighted the opposition’s show of unity under the INDIA bloc, as slogans echoed and security remained on high alert around the protest site.
