India’s Congress Party youth wing organized a symbolic funeral ceremony targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and two cabinet members on July 24, 2026. The demonstration was staged in response to a crackdown on young protesters that occurred four days earlier on July 20.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was among the government officials named in the protest action. The ceremonial funeral served as a form of political dissent against the administration’s handling of the youth demonstrators, with the Congress Party using the symbolic gesture to express their opposition to the government’s actions.
The event reflects ongoing tensions between India’s opposition and the ruling administration over the treatment of protesters. The Congress Party youth wing’s choice of protest method highlighted their strong criticism of the government’s response to the demonstrations that had taken place earlier in the week.
