Rahul Gandhi accused the government of not creating job opportunities and closing the doors to few chances available to them like competitive examinations.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday (July 21) demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation and also said that he must apologise to students for the 'police brutality'. The Congress leader also sought the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah.
The Congress MP from Wayanad accused the government of using force against protesting students instead of talking to them and addressing their concerns over the country's education and examination system.
Speaking to reporters outside the parliament Gandhi said, "This is much bigger than education. This is students of India saying they have no future in India. This is legitimate. Dharmendra Pradhan, the Home Minister and the Prime Minister, should resign."
“An attack on students is an attack on every Indian family. Prime Minister Modi thinks he can escape without giving answers, without facing any consequences - he won't be able to, not at all this time,” he further said.
Rahul accused the government of not creating job opportunities and closing the doors to few chances available to them like competitive examinations.
