Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Congress and INDIA bloc MPs are headed to Gandhi Smriti on Tees January Marg, for what he said would be to remember the students who lost their lives after the NEET paper leak and those injured during protests.
“Right now, MPs and leaders of the INDIA alliance are peacefully heading to Gandhi Smriti on Tees January Marg,” Rahul Gandhi said in a statement, adding, "We go to remember the students we lost - the children driven to take their own lives after the NEET paper leak."
“And we go to stand with the students who lie injured today - beaten for peacefully demanding justice and accountability.” Gandhi's post on X reads.
Speaking to reporters after reaching the site, Gandhi said the Opposition had first sought permission to march to India Gate before deciding to proceed to Gandhi Smriti.
"Because our students are on the street, all the opposition MPs felt that we should also be on the street. We wanted all opposition MPs to go to India Gate, but they refused us. Then we said we want to go to Tees January Marg. Here, they have parked this bus, and the driver basically got off and abandoned it. We are not able to move forward. But the main message to the students is... We wanted to go to Tees January Marg symbolically because it's Gandhiji's assassination spot," he said.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police warned demonstrators at the site that the sit-in would be declared illegal if they did not disperse peacefully. However, Congress workers continued their protest despite the warning.

Opposition protests over the NEET paper leak and police action against demonstrators during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)'s 'Chalo Sansad' intensified significantly on Monday. On Tuesday, senior leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav staged a sit-in outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on 7 Lok Kalyan Marg in Delhi. The leaders were later removed from the site and briefly detained by Delhi Police.
Earlier in the day, both Houses of Parliament were adjourned for the fourth consecutive day amid opposition protests demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak issue. However, the government maintained that it was ready for an immediate debate without preconditions.
