Police block Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi from entering violence-affected Sambhal, sparking controversy.

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and his sister Priyanka Gandhi were blocked by police while trying to visit Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, a town affected by recent violence. The police, enforcing prohibitory orders under Section 163, prevented their entry, leading to a standoff and traffic disruptions. The Congress party claims this is a violation of their rights and plans to raise the issue in Parliament. The ban on outsiders entering Sambhal has been extended until December 31.
