Coaching Centres ‘Being Threatened’ to Keep Students Away From Rahul Gandhi’s Indore Event, Alleges Congress
Congress says police are forcing coaching centres to sign safety forms and keep 1,500 volunteers on hand for Rahul Gandhi’s student outreach event.
- On Friday, the Congress accused the Madhya Pradesh Police of pressuring coaching centres and hostels in Indore to prevent youth from attending Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event scheduled for Saturday.
- Coaching centre operators are allegedly being forced to sign statements taking responsibility for student safety, while police cited the Verma Commission report on former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's 1991 assassination to outline organizer liability.
- Congress Rajya Sabha member Pawan Khera denounced the actions as a 'complete chain of intimidation,' citing the denial of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium permit and an additional ₹4 lakh bill for the alternate venue.
- Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotiya confirmed the issuance of self-declaration forms, stating they are intended to 'highlight and specify the responsibilities of the organisers' rather than intimidate attendees.
- Authorities requested at least 1,500 volunteers, including 500 women, for crowd control, while a senior officer noted such forms were previously used during local Gen-Z protests to monitor student attendance and ensure safety.
