CJP and Sonam Wangchuk: One month protest at Jantar Mantar. Modi govt refuses to talk to them. Rahul Gandhi: Allowed to protest outside PM residence. In one hour Modi Govt starts dialogue. Wah! Kya jugalbandi hai!” AAP leader and former Delhi chief minister Atishi said in a post on X.”To weaken the CJP’s dharna, Modi ji has seated @RahulGandhi on a dharna at his residence,” AAP MP Sanjay Singh posted.Responding to Atishi’s post, Congress leader BV Srinivas claimed that the “duet” was, in fact, between the AAP and BJP.”You must have faced a lot of trouble. We can understand. Your ongoing duet with BJP has failed, that’s why..?” he said.After Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi met injured protesters at RML Hospital, Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi himself, MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and party president Mallikarjun Kharge, among others, arrived outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence at 7 Lok Kalyan Marg, catching security personnel off guard.The Congress leaders refused to leave and demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and education minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Rahul Gandhi also appealed to members of the public to join the sit-in.The Congress also declined an outreach attempt by Union minister Jitendra Singh, who arrived at the prime minister’s residence and urged the party to call off its sit-in.The CJP, an online satirical outfit formed in response to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant’s alleged “cockroaches” remark about a section of unemployed youth, has been protesting at Delhi’s designated protest site, Jantar Mantar, since June 21. The group is demanding the resignation or removal of Pradhan from the Cabinet over the NEET (UG) paper leak, the CBSE online marking controversy, and other related issues.The protest intensified after Delhi Police removed climate activist Sonam Wangchuk in an early morning operation on July 18. The Ladakh-based activist, who had been on a fast at the site since June 28, was taken to hospital amid concerns over his deteriorating health.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

Our mission in Ukraine is closely monitoring the situation and is making every effort to extend all possible assistance to those affected.”The government also reiterated that targeting commercial vessels, endangering civilian seafarers, and disrupting freedom of navigation and international trade were deplorable and should be avoided.One of those killed has been identified as 26-year-old merchant navy officer Akhil Joyan from Vellarikkundu in Kerala’s Kasaragod district. His family was informed of his death by the shipping company through an email on Monday.Akhil had recently returned home on leave, got engaged, and resumed duty only a month ago.According to a Reuters report, Ukrainian officials said a Russian missile strike hit a ship carrying corn near the southern port of Odesa, killing 10 people.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
