New Delhi [India], July 21 : Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendera Singh on Tuesday evening arrived at the site of the protest outside the residence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where Rahul Gandhi and several other Congress leaders held a protest. Singh, who is also the Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, was seen briefly conversing with Rahul Gandhi.

Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan had also joined the protest. Earlier, they held a foot march from Rajaji Marg towards PM Modi's residence, alleging rutalities against students yesterday. Eighty-four-year-old Mallikarjurn Kharge, who marks his birthday today, was seen during the protest standing with his hands raised and tied with some sort of tags that Rahul Gandhi was distributing to the MPs and protestors. Kharge was later taken away in a car. Congress MP K Suresh, who was detained, said from inside the bus. Our students very cruelly attacked. The Honourable PM is not saying anything, Home Minister Amit Shah is not saying anything that is why Congress MPs, both from the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, are protesting. The protest was against police action during the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) march to Parliament a day earlier. Chairperson of Punjab Congress Campaign Committee, Charanjit Singh Channi, slammed the BJP. This is BJP's terrorism. They don't listen to the students... he said amid shouts and sloganeering of Shame shame and BJP murdabad.

He said discussions began around 11:50 am and the meeting took place in a cordial atmosphere. There was detailed verbal discussion first and a written petition was given to me at about 4 pm. I requested all the protesters to end their protest and assist the administration in restoring normalcy, he added. Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) chief spokesperson Saurav Das later said they placed three demands before Nadda, including resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and compensation of Rs 1 crore to the families of the NEET aspirants, more than 20 of whom have lost their lives.

'Sit Quietly And Clap: Samson On Early Struggles At T20 WC
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has revealed how he came to terms with missing out on the spot in India's XI at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 after a disappointing series against New Zealand, saying he knew his hopes were over once Ishan Kishan's explosive performances pushed him ahead in the selection race. Reflecting on the turning point in his international career, Samson admitted he could see the selectors' thinking change as Kishan grabbed his opportunity. After that, Ishan came in, and his story was completely different. He wasn't even in the team. He won Jharkhand the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy almost single-handedly, then came into the Indian team and was batting on a different level altogether. I could clearly see that Ishan was moving above me in the pecking order, Samson told JioStar. Kishan capitalised on his opportunity with a string of impactful innings, while Samson endured a lean run in the five-match series, leaving the Kerala batter convinced that the race for a World Cup berth had effectively ended. You get five matches and score 24, 6, 6, 10 and 0, then another guy comes in, scores 70-odd straightaway, gets a hundred later in the series, and the next match is directly in the T20 World Cup. Anyone would prefer an in-form batter. It was clear that the World Cup was done for me. Whatever had to happen had happened, and the only thing I could do was sit quietly and clap, he added. The 31-year-old said the disappointment was particularly painful because it came just when he believed he had finally established himself in India's T20I setup after a remarkable run of form. That's the spice of being an Indian cricketer, actually. Everything can change in a single day. The same thing happened with me as well. When I was given those seven matches, I don't think even I would have imagined that I would score three hundreds in those seven games, he expressed. Samson said that success had convinced many that his place in the side was secure, but he never allowed himself to think that way. The wicketkeeper-batter also admitted that the setback taught him an important lesson about balancing preparation with mental well-being. That's the spice of being an Indian cricketer, actually. Everything can change in a single day. The same thing happened with me as well. When I was given those seven matches, I don't think even I would have imagined that I would score three hundreds in those seven games, he expressed. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Samson revealed that it was during this difficult phase that he realised relentless practice alone was not the answer, as he said, I realised I was overdoing it, and my wife was right, being happy and mentally in a good space is much more important than putting in hours and hours of practice. The New Zealand series taught me that. Article Source: IANS
Sanju Samson Reveals How Rohit Sharma's Faith Helped Him Script T20 World Cup Redemption
India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has revealed that he initially struggled to believe Rohit Sharma's reassurance that he would still have a role to play in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 after missing out on the playing XI during the latter stage of the campaign before rediscovering his confidence and producing one of the defining innings of India's campaign against the West Indies. Looking back on the difficult period following the New Zealand T20I series, Samson admitted he was mentally drained and could not see the path that Rohit envisioned for him. To be honest, I didn't believe him at that time. Sorry. He might have spoken from his heart or from his experience, but that day I wasn't able to see what he was seeing. You could see it on my face; I was a bit off that day, Samson told JioStar. Samson explained that the disappointment of missing out lingered into the early stages of the World Cup, making it difficult for him to move on immediately. Our World Cup campaign started two days after the New Zealand series, and it takes me at least a week to recover. I don't like to bottle things up, so it shows on my face if I'm not feeling 100 per cent. I went through that phase for four or five days before getting myself back on track, he added. The Kerala batter said the setback eventually became an opportunity for self-reflection, prompting him to reassess both his mindset and the reasons that drove him to play the game. You know you've failed, so what's next? You're at the bottom, so from there, you can only go up. I started working on myself mentally. I started asking myself questions, why do I play cricket? What's my purpose? It was like I was rediscovering myself while the World Cup was going on. And then everything just came back, Samson said. That renewed perspective laid the foundation for Samson's match-winning innings in the virtual quarter-final against the West Indies, a knock he described as one of those rare days when everything clicked, as he said, I prepared much better for that game after the Zimbabwe one. There are days I've played in the IPL and for India, and I've scored those centuries, when everything just feels right. It was one of those days. You just enjoy, stay in the moment, stay in the process, and things start happening automatically. Although his natural instinct is to accelerate after the Powerplay, Samson said the match situation demanded a different approach as wickets kept falling at the other end. I also knew it was a very big game for India. After the powerplay, I usually go into fifth gear. I'm an opener, if I get through the Powerplay, and we bat till No. 8, my game plan is to take on the bowling. But in that game, every time I felt it was time to attack, a wicket would fall at the other end. That's when I realised the game is the biggest teacher. The game tells you what to do, he stated. Samson also opened up on the emotional celebration that followed the innings, saying it was an expression of gratitude rather than personal triumph, saying, It's a very private celebration, but it became very public. I'm a very strong believer. I believe in my God, and I know it wasn't me. I also knew it was a very big game for India. After the powerplay, I usually go into fifth gear. I'm an opener, if I get through the Powerplay, and we bat till No. 8, my game plan is to take on the bowling. But in that game, every time I felt it was time to attack, a wicket would fall at the other end. That's when I realised the game is the biggest teacher. The game tells you what to do, he stated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I've played enough innings to know which shots I hit, and then there are some where I wonder, 'How did I hit that one?' I'm just very grateful that it happened through me, that I was able to help the team. That moment will stay with me till my last breath. It was very special, he mentioned. Article Source: IANS
