'Where does he get such ideas from?' Rahul on PM Modi 'forgiving students'

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his recent "forgive children" video message, stating that students in the country are in severe pain and do not need forgiveness. The Lok Sabha MP referred to the nationwide protests sparked by the cancellation of the NEET-UG exam earlier this year, where students demanding fairness in exams and an education system that works.

Gandhi questioned who PM Modi is to forgive them, and added that the Prime Minister is choosing to forgive them. Reacting to PM Modi's statement of forgiving students and his late mother who faced abusive language, Gandhi stated that the idea behind the Prime Minister and colleagues is dangerous and caustic. He emphasized that every state has the right to be treated fairly and express its own culture and language, and the RSS wants only the history subscribed by it to be followed.

Gandhi pointed out that the Constitution clearly states India, or Bharat, is a union of states and the state represents the people of India. He also highlighted that when people say Tamil Nadu, it is the history, pain, suffering, and happiness of the Tamil people, and every state has the right to its own history, tradition, and language.
