Leaders and Members of Parliament belonging to the opposition INDIA bloc assembled near Connaught Place in New Delhi and began marching towards Rajghat to stage a peaceful demonstration. Top leaders, including Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee, Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Manoj Jha, Samajwadi Party leaders, and CPI(M) MP John Brittas, formed a united front. Addressing a joint press conference, the leadership announced that nearly 300 MPs from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were heading to Mahatma Gandhi's memorial to stage a sit-in dharna. The opposition raised allegations regarding vote theft, inflation, and attacks on democratic rights and constitutional freedoms, while claiming they were previously prevented from holding demonstrations outside the Election Commission and at Jantar Mantar.

00:00We're getting these live visuals coming in of Congress President Malik Arjun Kargay,
00:04helped out by leader of opposition of the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi,
00:08as they're emerging from Connaught Place, from the inner circle, as we can presume.
00:14They are being greeted, of course, by Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal.
00:17And they will now proceed, as my colleagues Amit, Anjali and Aishwarya were telling us,
00:24they're likely to proceed towards Rajgat,
00:26which is what we understand is the venue for today.
00:30But what we are also seeing on screens is clearly an effort by the opposition to show a united front.
00:35You see representatives, not just the Congress, but also Trinamul Congress.
00:39You see Abhishek Banerjee there, Mamata Banerjee's nephew, and TMC MP.
00:43We have Manoj Jha, who is also, and of course, an RGDMB from the Rajasabha.
00:47And I expect them to address a joint press conference shortly to tell us of their future plans.
00:53This is, of course, Malik Arjun Karge, Congress President, who is, of course, leading the delegation.
00:58He's also, obviously, being accompanied by Rahul Gandhi.
01:02And this is evidently a show of strength that has been put forward.
01:06You have representatives of the Samajwadi Party as well.
01:09So the India Bloc trying to give a show.
01:11There you see John Bitters from the left front, also behind Rahul Gandhi.
01:14Let's try and listen in now to what seems to be an impromptu joint opposition press conference.

05:33All right, so that was an important press conference by representatives of the India
05:38bloc, of course, led by Malikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
05:40And so it's official, as we have been telling you all morning, today's venue of the opposition
05:45protest is the memorial of the father of the nation, which is, of course, Rajgat.
05:50And they are going to go there.
05:51And as Malikarjun Kharge said, almost 300 MPs of the opposition from both houses of parliament
05:55are going to quote-unquote pray that the prime minister and the home minister come to the
06:00census here.
06:01So this is, of course, the escalation continues.
