On Wednesday, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi delivered a forceful response when confronted about the ongoing controversy involving students protesting in Jharkhand. He affirmed that he has consistently made clear his stance on violence against students. Speaking to reporters during the Parliament Monsoon Session, Gandhi stated, “I am not silent on Jharkhand,” and recalled his previous press conference where he explicitly said the Congress party does not endorse violence against students.
He reiterated, “I am saying it openly,” emphasizing that his remarks had clearly communicated his opposition to any form of violence against students. His visibly stern demeanor in response to the questions reportedly made those of the "Godi" reporters uncomfortable. This reaction came amidst questions regarding the opposition's position on the Jharkhand student protest and the political discussions surrounding the incident.
The exchange also occurred amid a deadlock in Parliament's Monsoon Session. Gandhi has frequently criticized the media's focus on opposition leaders, suggesting that similar scrutiny is not extended to government members. The Congress leader also questioned the government's response to issues raised by the opposition during the ongoing session.
Gandhi's latest comments highlight the opposition's effort to keep student-related concerns and alleged violence in the spotlight during the parliamentary session. His resolute response is likely to fuel the ongoing debate on the handling of student protests and the accountability of authorities.
