Top Congress leaders - including Mallikarjun Kharge, Salman Khurshid, K Suresh, and V Narayanasamy - among others, were seen holding a sit-in at the Jantar Mantar against probe agency's summons to the Gandhis.

A team of party leaders is also set to meet President Ram Nath Kovind later in the day over the government's new military recruitment scheme - 'Agnipath'. "Tomorrow lakhs of Congress workers across the country will continue peaceful protests against the anti-youth Agnipath scheme & against Modi Govt’s vendetta politics targeting its leader Shri Rahul Gandhi, MP. A Congress delegation will also meet Honble Rashtrapati in the evening (sic)," Jairam Ramesh had tweeted on Sunday evening.

On Sunday, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra led protests in the national capital against the government's Agnipath scheme, which has sparked demonstrations across the country. Violent agitations have been seen from across 10 states during the last week. More than 1,000 arrests have been made so far.
