Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi met students admitted at the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital here after being injured in police action during the CJP-led protest march to Parliament over the NEET paper leak issue, and expressed solidarity with them.
They also met the mother of an injured young woman protester who is on ventilator support at the RML Hospital, sources said.
Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi enquired about the health of the students and wished them a speedy recovery,
they said. In a post on X, the Congress said Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, along with General Secretary (Organisation K) C Venugopal, met the students injured during the "police brutality and lathi charge" in Monday's youth protest.
"Today, the future of students in the country is being trampled, and lathis are being rained down on those who raise their voices, for which Narendra Modi should apologise. The students' demand is absolutely clear -- the government should take responsibility for the paper leak and Dharmendra Pradhan should resign," the party said.
