Government sources criticised the Congress after senior leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, led a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence in New Delhi over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. The sources described the demonstration as a security threat and said protests targeting political leaders’ residences set a dangerous precedent that is not seen in mature democracies. Congress leaders were demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and action over the police crackdown on students. Delhi Police detained Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav and several other opposition leaders during the protest. (PC: India Today)
