Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the Modi government over its handling of student protests in Delhi, alleging it has failed India's youth by responding with tear gas and lathi-charge instead of dialogue. He urged PM Modi to address students' demands for a fair education system and accused the RSS of exerting undue influence over educational institutions.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday criticised the Narendra Modi-led government over its handling of student protests in the national capital, alleging that the Centre has failed the country's youth and responded to their demands with force instead of dialogue.
In a video message shared on his official X handle, Gandhi said that India has a predominantly young population but is being led by "the most anti-youth Prime Minister India has ever had."
Referring to students protesting on the streets of Delhi, Gandhi said they were not criminals but young people demanding their rightful access to a fair and functional education system.
"The boys and girls who are walking the streets of Delhi are not criminals. They are demanding their rights. Their rights are to have an education system that respects them, to have an education system that is fair, to have an education system that is working," he said.
