The political clash between the Congress and the Narendra Modi-led government intensifies after the Delhi Police registered an FIR against Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in connection with the October 6 INDIA bloc protest and alleged forced entry into Akashvani Bhawan. The FIR has triggered a sharp response from the Congress, with the party accusing the government of attempting to suppress its protest over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
