A day after high-voltage demonstrations outside the Prime Minister's official residence led to their forced eviction by the police, the Opposition MPs reached the Parliament complex on Wednesday, clad in black to express their anger and protest against police brutality. The group of MPs, belonging to the INDIA bloc, assembled outside the Parliament complex, waving banners and raising slogans against the government's 'insensitivity and indifference' towards students.

Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and many bigwigs of the INDIA bloc wore black clothes to register their protest against police manhandling and excesses

On Tuesday, all three of them were forcibly removed from the protest site outside the PM's residence as the Lok Sabha leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, urged more people to join the stir to embolden their call for the Education Minister's resignation over NEET paper leaks

A slew of Congress MPs hit out at the government over unleashing police force on the protesting lawmakers and forcibly escorting them out in vans and buses

The Parliamentary proceedings remain paralysed, primarily because of the widening rift between the Opposition and government over the paper leak issue that concerns lakhs of students

Earlier on Tuesday, Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, along with several other leaders, were detained by Delhi Police over the party's protest at Lok Kalyan Marg and were later released from detention.
