Large Protests Erupt Against Government Actions Nationwide

Congress leaders across India staged widespread protests against the central government's economic policies and the Enforcement Directorate's chargesheets against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald money laundering case. In Karnataka, senior Congress figures criticized the Modi government for rising prices of essential commodities and increasing economic disparity, urging the public to direct their anger at the BJP. Simultaneously, in Chandigarh, Congress leaders, including former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, were detained while protesting what they allege is the misuse of investigative agencies for political purposes. In Assam, the BJP's youth wing countered with their own protest demanding the arrest of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, highlighting ongoing political tensions over the National Herald case. These developments underscore intensifying political confrontations in India, with both parties accusing each other of misusing power and agencies.
