According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra staged an extended protest at the Akashvani Bhavan in New Delhi on Tuesday. The demonstration occurred during a 'Save Democracy' march organized by the opposition to protest against the Service of Indian Revenue (SIR) policies. As police attempted to detain the leaders and transport them away from the protest site via bus, the siblings reportedly exited the vehicle and entered the government office complex.
The protest, which saw the leaders sitting under a banyan tree within the premises, lasted for approximately eight hours, significantly disrupting police efforts to clear the area. Witnesses and reports indicate that the situation escalated around 12:20 PM when Rahul Gandhi, accompanied by other senior party members including KC Venugopal and Pawan Khera, bypassed security at the reception gate to enter the building.
Police were reportedly engaged for over eight hours in efforts to remove the demonstrators from the site. The event highlights the ongoing tensions between the opposition and the current administration regarding electoral and administrative policies. As of the time of reporting, there have been no official statements from the Delhi Police regarding the specific security breach or the eventual dispersal of the protest.
The story is reported by a credible regional outlet, Dainik Bhaskar, detailing a specific political protest event in New Delhi. While not corroborated by the provided international wire list, the narrative is internally consistent and reflects standard political protest dynamics in India.
