Delhi witnessed heavy security measures and barricading as authorities sealed key routes amid protests by opposition parties and youth. Protesters and several members of parliament were reportedly roughed up and detained by law enforcement personnel. A reaction on social media condemned the police action, calling the detentions illegal and alleging infringement on constitutional rights to protest. The reaction also criticised the fortification and siege-like conditions imposed across the national capital. Meanwhile, the Congress party opted not to align directly on the ground with the ongoing demonstration in Delhi, as Rahul Gandhi attended the Chhatro Ki Goonj programme in Chennai.
