Congress leader Rahul Gandhi warned that a large-scale protest involving Congress, the I.N.D.I.A alliance and youth will hit the streets across India on Monday, October 12.
Rahul Gandhi, senior leader of the Congress party, issued a stark warning on Saturday that a massive public demonstration is slated for Monday, 12 October. He said the Congress, together with the I.N.D.I.A alliance and disillusioned youth, will take to the streets nationwide to voice their dissent against the Modi government.
The leader emphasized that the intensity of the protest will rise in direct proportion to the pressure the government faces, suggesting that a harsher clampdown could further inflame youthful anger. He appealed to students, first‑time voters and other young citizens to join the movement, describing it as a democratic exercise to hold the ruling administration accountable.
Security agencies have been alerted to the possibility of large gatherings in major cities, though no specific deployment details have been disclosed. Observers note that the call for a coordinated protest could test the government's capacity to manage law and order while respecting the right to peaceful assembly.
