Rahul Gandhi’s Student Outreach Event Cancelled, Sparks Outcry in Lok Sabha

The proposal by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to hold a "Students' Resonance" meeting in Prayagraj was abruptly withdrawn by the authorities, prompting sharp criticism from Congress leaders. Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed bewilderment at the government's fear of a youth gathering. MP Imran Pratapgarhi labeled the decision as a sign that the administration is unwilling to engage with students, and warned that silencing such dialogues only deepens public mistrust.
