Prime Minister Narendra Modi ignited a fresh political debate after appearing to take a veiled swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while praising India's young startup ecosystem during his address ahead of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. Referring to India's growing innovation landscape, Modi celebrated the achievements of the country's "28-year-old startup generation" and remarked that he was "not talking about any 56-year-old youngster", a statement widely interpreted by political observers and opposition leaders as a dig at Rahul Gandhi. However, the remarks came as thousands of students and activists gathered in Delhi for CJP protest over alleged examination irregularities and broader education-related issues. The demonstrations unfolded near Parliament, with protesters demanding accountability and reforms. WATCH
