JP Nadda, Rahul Gandhi Visit Injured Protesters at Delhi's RML and Lady Hardinge

Union Health Minister JP Nadda, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday visited injured Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protesters undergoing treatment at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital and Lady Hardinge Hospital in New Delhi. The visits followed a police crackdown on a CJP protest march on Monday morning, which left scores of protesters and security personnel injured.

Union Health Minister JP Nadda visited both RML and Lady Hardinge hospitals to review the medical care being provided. During his visit to Lady Hardinge Hospital, Nadda met with an injured protester, Sheikh Irshad, and spoke with the attending doctors regarding his line of treatment. Nadda stated that the patients were being properly cared for and that Irshad expressed satisfaction with his treatment.

At RML Hospital, medical staff are treating multiple injured individuals, including a young woman whose condition is reported to be serious.

Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, and Organization General Secretary K.C. Venugopal also arrived at RML Hospital on Tuesday to meet with the injured youth and students.

The injuries occurred during a major demonstration on Monday morning, marking the first day of the Parliament's Monsoon Session. CJP supporters attempted to march to Parliament to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over multiple paper leaks in competitive exams. Delhi Police deployed force to stop the protesters, turning central Delhi into a clash site.

Following his visit, Rahul Gandhi criticized the central government for the police action against the young demonstrators. He demanded the resignations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, stating that the crackdown was an unacceptable way to treat the nation's youth who are concerned about their future and the education system.
