Govt official slaps young girl in UP's Varanasi, video goes viral

The US Capitol turned into a powerful stage of protest as veterans and military families were arrested while opposing the ongoing Iran war. At least 62 demonstrators were detained after occupying a key congressional building, sending a strong message against continued military action. Holding symbolic red tulips and folding flags to honour fallen soldiers, the protesters called for an immediate end to the war and demanded that lawmakers stop funding the conflict. The protest was led by several veteran organisations, reflecting growing frustration within the military community itself. Iraq War veteran Mike Prysner’s remarks added emotional weight, highlighting the long-term cost of war. This comes at a time when ceasefire talks remain uncertain and tensions are rising again. The arrests underline a critical moment where domestic opposition and global conflict are intersecting in a highly charged political environment.
