Opposition MPs from the INDIA bloc carried out a march from Samvidhan Sadan towards Rashtrapati Bhavan, leading to confrontations with security personnel in New Delhi. Delhi Police set up multiple layers of barricades across Raisina Hill after permission to visit the President's house was granted to a delegation of only 10 leaders. Tensions escalated near Vijay Chowk when other parliamentarians sought entry alongside the designated delegation. Visuals from the high-security area showed parliamentarians registering their protest against being blocked at the security barricades, demanding either passage to the premises or immediate clearance to join the permitted delegation.

00:00Is Priyanka Gandhi Bhadra speaking? Is she marching? Let me try and get our reporters from Ground Zero.
00:08Initially, initially they were all sitting on a dharna. Let's try and listen in.
00:36Bring in Piyush Mishra for more on this and Piyush is standing at that barricade.
00:39Piyush, what is this altercation about?
00:41There appears to be some altercation between members of parliament and political leaders
00:46who want to go to Rashubati Bhavan and police. What's happening, Piyush?
00:54Well, Gaurav, actually this confrontation is about the kind of demand
00:58which these MPs are putting forth. Remember that India Bloc MPs gathered there
01:03in parliament old building, Samvidan Satan, and from there they all marched.
01:08But the permission was given to only 10 leaders of India Bloc to go towards the President's House.
01:14I am right now standing at Raisina Hills, and apart from the 10 India Bloc leaders,
01:21all of them were stopped. You can see this is the second layer of barricade
01:25which has been created here by Delhi police. Why? Because only 10 MPs were allowed.
01:30After that, the MPs were stopped there. I would ask Kunj to pan his camera and show you
01:37that around 100 meters away from this place were the India Bloc leaders who were stopped.
01:44And now I can see some movement there also because these leaders wanted to go towards the President's House,
01:50but they were stopped by Delhi police, and that is why this entire confrontation is now taking place.
01:55Remember that this entire area is a highly secured area, it's a highly sensitive area,
02:00and multiple layers of barricades were put.
02:03Right in front of me is the parliament building.
02:07From that parliament building, when MPs marched, they were first stopped right in front of Vijay Chowk car parking.
02:13Then, only 10 India Bloc leaders were allowed, whose names were given to the President.
02:20When they entered inside, other MPs also wanted to go towards the President's House,
02:24even they want to meet President, but they have now been stopped.
02:27And that's why this confrontation right now as you are speaking is underway.
02:31Sir, it's a delegation of 10 that was permitted, others wanted to go and were not permitted.
