Seeking to intensify pressure on the Centre a day after the Cockroach Janta Party-led march to Parliament, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge
and Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday marched towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence in New Delhi. According to Times Now sources, Congress leaders Pawan Khera, Rahul Gandhi are planning to continue the protest overnight. Pawan Khera has also appealed to party workers and supporters to join the demonstration outside the Prime Minister's residence. "Whether it's day or night, we'll remain here. The Prime Minister will have to come out," Pawan Khera said.
“We have marched to PM Modi’s house to demand answers from him for the brutalities against young students yesterday. The Government doesn’t want to take any accountability, nor does it want to have a debate on it in Parliament,” Gandhi said in a post on X.
“The Prime Minister and Home Minister must resign for destroying the future of India’s youth,” the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.

Congress workers, led by party president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, assembled outside Kharge's residence at 10, Rajaji Marg on Tuesday afternoon before marching towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, located just over a kilometre away. In a rare development, Union Minister Jitendra Singh later reached the protest site and held talks with Rahul Gandhi.
Gandhi, along with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Congress leaders, earlier met some of the students injured in Monday’s police action at the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital.
The Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) march to Parliament on Monday descended into chaos as police and the Rapid Action Force used lathicharge and tear gas to disperse protesters, many of whom were students and young people. The CJP, which is demanding Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET controversy and other alleged paper leaks, claimed several protesters were injured and left bleeding during the crackdown.
The Delhi Police, however, accused the demonstrators of engaging in "unruly, aggressive and violent behaviour". According to the police, protesters pelted security personnel with stones, vandalised police vehicles and indulged in large-scale violence. The force said 118 of its personnel, including several senior officers, sustained injuries during the clashes.
