'This Government Knows That Its Days Are Numbered': Mumtaz Patel

Congress leader Mumtaz Patel joined party leaders and the INDIA alliance delegation marching towards the Supreme Court, accusing the government of protecting Gyanesh Kumar and cracking down on citizens while allowing anti-social elements to unleash violence. Criticizing the heavy police presence, she stated, 'This is going to carry on now until and unless Gyanesh Kumar resigns. And after Gyanesh Kumar resigns, this government would also fall.' Dismissing claims by BJP ministers alleging a foreign conspiracy behind the protests, Patel termed accusations of a foreign hand and communal tensions as old diversionary tactics, asserting that the public will not fall for hyper-nationalist rhetoric as protests intensify nationwide.
