New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi He condemned the clash between aggressive protesters and security forces (which included the Delhi Police) during the students’ protest at Jantar Mantar and the march towards Parliament on Monday. He said that students who raised legitimate questions on serious issues in the education system faced only caning and arrest.

In a video message released on social media, Rahul Gandhi lashed out, describing the Prime Minister as ‘the most anti-youth Prime Minister in the history of India’. Rahul Gandhi said, “They are so anti-youth that they cannot even demand the resignation of the failed education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.”

Presenting the statistics of paper leakage incidents, Rahul Gandhi mentioned that so far there have been 152 incidents of paper leaks in the country, which have affected around 7.5 crore students. Despite this, none of the culprits have been punished; On the contrary, it is the hardworking youth who are facing the punishment.

He alleged that the criminals responsible for the paper-footage are walking free, while students raising legitimate concerns are being dragged, beaten up and detained. The youth on the streets of Delhi are not criminals; They came out to present their just demands.

Rahul Gandhi said that the students were agitating in a peaceful manner on issues like education quality, examination reform and employment, but the government chose the path of repression. Despite repeated incidents of paper bursting, the concerned minister continues to hold office. The central government should accept the demands of these youth.

Instead of using sticks, examine your own failures – Priyanka Gandhi

Meanwhile, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wrote on social media platform ‘X’, “Instead of lashing out at children, the BJP government should review its policies and failures. First the NEET exam paper was leaked and the exam was cancelled; now there are reports of irregularities in the re-examination as well. It was claimed that the Prime Minister himself would look into the matter; despite this, why and how is all this happening? Why are there so many paper-bursting incidents happening again and again? The issue should be discussed in detail in Parliament and the Prime Minister should listen to the crores of youth of the country and give answers to them.”
