They alleged that the youth wing of the Indian National Congress had deliberately attempted to disrupt the event.State Mahila Morcha officials demanded that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi publicly apologize for the incident. They stated, “Disrupting an event related to national interests is unfortunate, and the Congress leadership should take responsibility for it.”The protesters also alleged that Rahul Gandhi, instead of apologizing, is encouraging the youth wing members by calling them “lions,” which further aggravates the situation. The Mahila Morcha warned that if the Congress leadership did not take a clear stand on the issue, they would continue their protest in a democratic manner.The protest passed off peacefully and no untoward incident was reported in the presence of the administration.")
